food

For all that we put in our bodies:
every morsel, crumb, piece,
every tidbit, chunk, mouthful–
thanks and praise to God!
Food is a miraculous delight.
Something solid is changed, who knows how,
into the swinging of an arm,
into our bodies bending and leaping.

Thank you God for all food,

grown, raised, bought, served;

for all food,

tangy, spicy, salty, sweet;

for all food,

crunchy, juicy, chewy, smooth;

for all food,

baked, boiled, roasted, raw.

For all food,

thanks, praise, glory, honour

to our Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer.
Bless this food to our use,

and us to your service. Amen.
