Oh, God! Please bless the food I make
to be delicious, for Your sake –
nutritious, for the sake of those
who gather here.
As You arose
from place of frigid lifelessness,
so bring my bread to rise, and bless
each soul embodied at our table:
energize, equip, enable
each to answer to Your call,
each be lifted from the Fall,
each one filled, each satisfied:
No hunger here, where You provide;
Your laying down, Your raising up
announced by every plate and cup:
Your death, Your life, this meal proclaim.
Amen! Amen! In Jesus’ Name. - Amy Imbody
