Praise to you
Lord God of all creation
Praise for the beauty of your world
Praise for the delight of sun dancing on snow
Sparkling crystals and pure, clean white
Praise for the feeling of muscles stretched
Of purposeful strides and gentle ambles
Praise for the quiet stream and the steadfast bridge
Praise for the woodland garth
For lives well lived and lovingly remembered
For roots and trunks, branches and leaves
Praise for snowdrops springing forth
For new life, beauty,
Tenderness and tears.
Praise to you
Lord God of celebration
Praise for laughter
For hugs and moments shared
Praise for warming soup and wholesome bread
For feasts and banquets
For bright and sumptuous wines
Praise for music, melody and song
For symphonies and harmonies
For depths and summits scaled.
Praise to you
Lord God of all fulfilment
For purpose, meaning, substance
For service, gifts and skills
For science and discovery
For patterns taking shape
For art and creativity
For colours, movements, form.
Praise to you
The source of all
The goal of all my longings.
Praise to you
Lord Jesus Christ
Father, Spirit, Son
Creator and Sustainer
Great Mother, Gentle One.
