We thank You, God,
for a love so strong,
That You would fashion a universe
place within it a world,
and give life to creatures
so that You could have someone to love.
That You would confront the worst that people can do
and conquer
without drawing any blood
but Your own.
That You would breathe Your Spirit into what You made,
allowing human hands to share
in building your life and purpose in the world.
That You would live in that which You created,
and inspire love for You in our hearts,
so that when we take the time to look
we would find you in each other
and share the love we have found in You.
Amen.
