(With joy!)
We rejoice in all life!
We live in all things
All things live in us
We rejoice in all life!
We live by the sun
We move with the stars
We rejoice in all life!
We eat from the earth
We drink from the rain
We breathe the air
We rejoice in all life!
We share with the creatures
We have strength through their
gifts
We rejoice in all life!
We depend on the forests
We have knowledge through their
secrets
We rejoice in all life!
We have the privilege of seeing and
understanding
We have the responsibility of caring
We have the joy of celebrating
We rejoice in all life!
We are full of the grace of creation
We are graceful
We are grateful
We rejoice in all life!
