The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Senator Lincoln. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Senator Lincoln offered a traditional tribal prayer: Grandfather, Great Spirit, You have always been, and before You nothing has been. There is no one to pray to but You. The star nations all over the heaven are Yours, and Yours are the grasses of the earth. You are older than all need, older than all pain and prayer. Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with light. Give us strength to understand and eyes to see. Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives to all that live, and to lead with fearlessness and hope. Help us, for without You, we are nothing. 3751 2000-05-06 Senate Journal Page 3752 O God, help us to recover our hope for our childrens sake. Help us to recover our courage for our childrens sake.
