Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.” . . .
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.

~ Proverbs 31: 28-29, 31

Mothering God, You Gave Me Birth

Writers: Jean Janzen, Carolyn Jennings
Tune Name: NORWICH

1 Mothering God, you gave me birth
in the bright morning of this world.
Creator, source of every breath,
you are my rain, my wind, my sun.

2 Mothering Christ, you took my form,
offering me your food of light,
grain…of life, and grape of love,
your very body for my peace.

3 Mothering Spirit, nurturing one,
in arms of patience hold me close,
so that in faith I root and grow
until I flower, until I know.
