We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 75:1
How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you!
Song of Songs 1:3
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face
in the light of the moon and patterns of stars,
in sacred mountain rifts and ancient groves,
in mighty seas and creatures of the deep.
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face
in the light of eyes we love,
in the salt of tears we have tasted,
in weathered countenances east and west,
in the soft skin glow of the child everywhere.
Whichever way we turn, O God, there is Your face,
there is Your face
among us.
