God of Adam, God of Joseph,
God of sowing, soil and seed,
Thank you for your world of promise,
Milk and honey, wine and bread.
1 God, you make us your companions,
Sharers of your loving cup;
Thank you for the generations,
Weave of names and threads of hope. (Refrain)
2 May your passion for creation
Be reflected in our own;
For our role in birth and nurture
Make through us your presence known. (Refrain)
3 Thank you for all men entrusted
With the charge of fatherhood,
And for those who have no children,
Yet are parents under God. (Refrain)
4 Abba(Father), God of Joseph,
Human Christ whose name we bear,
Spirit, womb of life and wisdom,
Thank you, God for who we are! (Refrain) Topics: Parent Scripture: Genesis 1:27-30 Used With Tune: FARRELL
