.praise.

"Lord God,

we render praise to You as our Creator and Sustainer,
as the spring of life and source of healing.
We praise You with lips that sing,
arms that embrace,
and feet that dance.
Our praise of You is spoken before the nations
and whispered in intimate love.
Our praise happens in rocking a baby, tending a patient,
affirming a student, hearing a client,
writing a letter, phoning a friend,
reaching out, holding,
listening, waiting,
offering all You have given to us to one another.
We praise You,
Lord God,
when we remember from whence we have come

and to Whom we all soon will return."
