Breaking of Bread
I see God in the soft wings of birds that fly
I see God in the water that floats peace's river
God is our hearts beating with life
God gives light and day
moon and sun
joy and sorrow
love and tomorrow
white doves flying with words of prayers
God gives grace with strength
to handle our mantle
to light the lantern
of hope for good days
to see faith in the future
baking the bread God gives us
so we can sing in the evening.
