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.
