O Holy One, your Word has been from the beginning,
and all things have been created through your Word.
You have spoken us into being, the words of your love.
We give thanks that you are not a retired creator,
but still creating: galaxies still form; life emerges;
varieties evolve, all by your grace.
All of us, humans and mountains, whales and stars,
are one in this mysterious work of Creation.
We honor you by singing in this great chorus,
dancing in this sacred dance, belonging in this holy Body.
By your Spirit heighten our awe; deepen our reverence;
tune our harmony with your sacred work.
We who are your handiwork, your art, your creating,
praise you in our being; we reveal you in our beauty;
and we serve you by serving this Creation,
that the Body of Christ may be whole,
and flourish with abundant life.
Amen.
