We give thanks for the plants,
Give thanks for the creatures
Whose flesh supplies this meal.
In silence now we join to pray
Listening to the God within.
May rich discernment shape our prayers
As we learn from cosmic laws.
To You, O God, we offer
Our life force and its power,
Your liveliness within us,
Our spirit’s fragrant flow’r.

God the One forever making
All the old into the new,
Source of all creative passion
Found in each emerging view,
From the womb of Mother Earth
We are brought by God to birth
With creative tenderness
Through God’s loving life caress.
Within Christ’s complex heart and mind
Three streams emerged and joined as one:
The man who spoke with prophet’s fire
Showed mother-love and childlike fun.
