You dressed me with skin and flesh; you sewed me together with bones and muscles.
You formed me inside my mother like cheese formed from milk.
You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your care you watched over my life.
You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body.
The whole body depends on Christ, and all the parts of the body are joined and held together. Each part does its own work to make the whole body grow and be strong with love.
