PSALM OF PRAISE
We bless you, God our creator:
let us praise your name with rejoicing.
We cried to you in thirst and longing:
with yearning hearts we searched, with parched and dried up souls we prayed to you.
You, who are love, have listened to our call:
you've had compassion on our thirst.
In love you have allowed us to drink of the Son:
in mercy you have given us the water of life.
So we rejoice in you, our God:
for you are our creator, redeemer and sustainer.
We celebrate with thanksgiving the greatness of God:
Blessed are you, the creator of all.
(Based on a modern psalm by Jan Fortune-Wood published in `The Good Wine' by Josephine Bax CIO 1986 p.61)
