O Lord God,
Creator of heaven and Earth

We lift our voices to you in praise of your creation.

We give you most humble and hearty thanks for all that you give:
For sand beaches and foaming tide lines;
For fish and shrimp and soft shell crabs;
For porpoises and gulls and waves and sounds;
For shoals and channels and ships;
For azaleas and oleanders and magnolias;
For stands of pine and oak trees;
For wind and rain and sun and stars;
For the rainbow after the storm;
For life now and life to come.

We give you praise and thanks through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.
