Oh Lord, we are so richly blessed
our tables, our lives, our cups running over
the bounty You give us, nothing that we earn
all of our lives yours, we, your children
in your image, merely clay of your hands
blessed in your giving, all of our needs
our hearts filled with the thought of you
Guide us Lord, in how we should live
how we should share the abundance you give
Help us to live all of our days
worthy of your loving grace
