lyrics
The earth you made and blest in days,
your spirit breathing into clay:
Lord, I receive with open hands
The breath that fails, the light that fades
while earth and heaven pass away,
I let them go with open hands.
In desert days a feast you spread
and with your manna I am fed,
Lord, I receive with open hands.
And when another needs this bread,
They ask as Christ, who broke and blessed
I let it go with open hands.
The work that waits for me today,
the joys and sorrows on the way,
Lord, I receive with open hands.
And just as earth you freely gave,
so any goodness I have made
I let it go with open hands.
