Echoing your own delight, with joy and thanks our song we raise. Your beloved children, birthed anew and rising from your womb, God, we bear your love through all our living, and beyond the tomb.    God you heal, forgive and nourish, and revive us breath by breath; you restore our broken trust and save us from our fear of death. Like a dry and withered plant revived by water at its root, we are saved by streams of grace, for flourishing and bearing fruit.    Bathed in grace, immersed in blessing, joined with your Beloved Son, how can we not love each other?— for your Spirit makes us One. Carried on a stream of mercy, springs beneath and rain above, may we flow with peace and in your Spirit flood the world with love.
