We celebrate your life, O God,

that, like a light, reveals our true colours

and brings our shadows into sight;

 

We celebrate Your life, O God,

that, like a song, teaches us our place in Your harmony

and forces us to re-train the discordant voices within us;

 

We celebrate Your life, O God,

that, like a field, allows both wheat and weeds to grow

until we learn to tell the difference

and keep only what nourishes;

 

We celebrate Your life, O God,

gracious and true and transforming

abundant and eternal.

 

Amen.
