God of Power, God of Might, God of Love, Burning Bright

O God of all Creation!
Creator of the heart and soul,
the body and mind,
and the Indwelling Spirit
within us!

Creator of all life
and giver of every gift,
eyes of every vision,
ears of all hearing,
breath of every moment
filling the earth
with the fragrance of flowers
and the sweet tastes
of milk and honey
You pour out upon the earth.

You create the seas and skies
and set the rivers flowing,
and yet You appear
in a tiny bird that we might
hear your sweet song
in the garden.

You come to us as a baby
sleeping in our arms
next to our hearts.

You listen to our longings
and come dancing
into our dreams.

Yet the greatest gift of all
is the generous love you share
and the tender ways you
bless each life
through the miracle
of inviting and exciting
our hearts
to love you too.

Your generous spirit
gives us wings
and summons every one
of us to dwell
in the hallowed air
of your watchful care,
to share
and become a part
of creating each new day
through divine play
to discover
the joys of your great love
and the peace of coming
home to your heart.
