29 Jan

Giver of life, 

granter of gifts, 

blessed existence, 

freshness of days, 

rejuvenation of the living, 

love from above, 

bliss from within, 

creator of all things, 

the craftsman of my heart, 

the artist of my soul, 

the chiseler of my body, 

the light of lights, 

the brightness of the sun, 

the joy of creation, 

the peace of eternity, 

the resolution of activity,

You are the hand that heals, 

the eyes that see, 

the ears that hear the cries and shrieking of my mouth.

You are the word that guides, 

the arm that rebuilds, 

the feet that follow me 

unto death.

You are the comfort that encloses all beings, 

as you encompass creation, you encompass me.

You seek,

You find,

You draw in,

You open,

You rejoice,

You hold in the palm of your hand, that you may never reopen,

You give,

You forget, 

You remember, 

You never abandon,

You are the wonder of stars, 

the creator of the eyes and the crafter and molder of what is seen, 

you are the light that emanates and the grace that is received, 

you are the height of heaven and the depths of redemption, 

you are upon the cross and seated in heaven, 

you are the king and the slave, 

the innocence and the sin, 

the healer and the broken, 

the life and having died, 

you are just and justifier, 

you are lover and friend, 

God and brother, 

aged and newly born.

I give thanks to you in endless praise, 

with body and soul, 

in spirit and in mind, 

I love you Lord,

Never forget me,

Always love me,

Never abandon me,

Always forgive me,

Heal me,

Save me, 

Redeem me,

Give me life.
