Life into life, the threads are woven, parent and child, partner and friend; tokens of love received and given: joy at each birth, grief at each end. God of all time, all loves, all living, hear as we bring our hearts' thanksgiving. Life into life, our ways cross over, culture and place, neighbor and race; in your good world help us discover imprint of grace in every face. God of all time, all loves, all living; hear as we bring our hearts' thanksgiving. Life into life, when love is spoken, everyday things give our heart wings, life-changing ills when things are broken, turn us to you seeing what's true, God of all time, all loves, all living, hear as we bring our hearts' thanksgiving. Life into life, your Holy Spirit quickens the mind, lifts humankind, gives to our stream of days its current, livens the slow, charges the flow, God of all time, all loves, all living, hear as we bring our hearts' thanksgiving. Life into life, the world goes spinning, catching your light, gaining new sight; you give us hope, a fresh beginning, life's very breath, life out of death. God of all time, all loves, all living, hear as we bring our hearts' thanksgiving.
