We thank you, Lord

We pause, we bow our heads,
we offer this prayer;
We thank you, Lord
for everything we see
for the unseen as well
we thank you for creation
for Christ who came
to set us free

Creator we thank you
for being mindful of us
even though we are broken
and made of clay;
We thank you, Lord
for the Spirit
for life within the vine
for life everlasting
