My Soul Dancing with Praise

“Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
Sing the glory of God’s name,
Give to God glorious praise.”
--A song from a joyful heart (Psalm 66:1)

As we move toward the beauty of spring, I like this little prayer that helps my soul dance with praise to God. This wonderful prayer, written by Anne Baring, demonstrates the vibrancy of God’s springtime.

“Beehive source
Trellised womb
Mother of all beginnings

Hold me
Gather me
Feed me
With the honey-nectar
From the hive.

Nourished
I will sing
The Bee-song
The long-forgotten threnody
Of praise to thee.”
