God of Eve and God of Mary,
God of love and mother earth,
Thank you for the ones who with us
Dhared their life and gave us birth.

So you come to us today;
You are present in the caring
That prepares us for life's way. (Refrain)
2 Thank you that the Church, our Mother,
Gives us bread and fills our cup,
And the comfort of the Spirit
Warms our hearts and lifts us up. (Refrain)

Bonds of friendship, ties of blood,
And for those who have no children,
Yet are parents under God. (Refrain)

Take our love and make us one. (Refrain) Topics: Parent Used With Tune: FARRELL
