Chapter 10 of 22

OGod, Ihave stood

O God, I have stood

in the shadow of mountains,

at the brink of oceans,

under the spread of clouds,

by the foot of redwoods—

And I have learned of Your greatness.

O Lord, I have touched

baby fingers,

feathers of a canary,

petals of a rose,

lather from soap—

And I have been reminded of Your gentleness.

O Father, I have known

true friendship,

joys of love,

unconcerned care,

unrestricted consideration—

And I have thought of Your goodness.

O great, gentle, good God,

do some good, gentle, great thing

today through me,

that others too may know

more of You,

I pray,

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
