Oh God – Creator, Savior, Helper
We thank you
for red soil, and black soil, and sandy soil and loamy soil
GOOD EARTH
for rice, and corn, and wheat and cassava
GOOD BREAD
for apples, and dates, and grapes and lychee
GOOD FRUIT
for salmon, and catfish, and walnuts and soy
GOOD MEAT
For red, and yellow, and blue and green
GOOD COLORS
You show your perfection not in one perfect thing
but in the unending diversity of your creation.
And so we gather
with all our languages and customs, all our heights and weights, all our genders and eye colors
at one table – made perfect in its almost infinite diversity
to sing to you our songs of
PRAISE and
THANKSGIVING.
Amen
