Quieter Grace to
Begin My Day
I’ve written a lot of graces and collected some others and I sing a different one every morning. Some of them are spoken ones—some are rhythmic—and a lot of them are a smidge too enthusiastic for me on a few of my days.
So I wrote a quieter one. It does have music, which is quieter too; but I just tried out saying it and it works as a spoken grace also. Try it in the morning.
Chant for Today
the moment is new – my God is here
to help me live – another day
O thank you God – for food and breath
and all the bits of joy I’ll find along the way
