Orchards and oceans farmer and field
We thank the Earth for all she yields
for soil and water, flour and seed
We're thankful in heart, thought, and deed
Oh the Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
Like the sun and the rain and the apple seed
The Lord is good to me
And every seed I sow will grow into a tree
And some day they'll be apples there for everyone in the world to share
We give thanks for the life in the soil
We give thanks for the light from above
We give thanks for this beautiful meal
That was gathered here from the light and the soil
And seasoned with love
May we eat with presence, awareness, and gratitude
And with our attention, vivify this food
That the life and spirit within
May be received and transformed
