Lord, thank you for the life
In the way that
You taught us to live,
Thank you for your presence
And for all the blessings you give:
The food we eat;
The fresh air we breathe
The rain that quench the drought and thirst;
A home for us you keep a safe place to dwell.
A family that prays and stays together;
Friends for fellowship that gather;
Church and community that care;
Truth that serves a pillar of our strength;
Bless the weather that guides the season;
Bless us with wisdom to watch our every action.
Please handle our depression;
Vanquish our frustration;
Yield us not to temptation;
Lead us to the promise of salvation.
We pray for the healing and forgiveness;
We beseech your merciful kindness;
Let us learn to live in peace;
And comprehend your heavenly grace.
Make us your humble servant;
As we serve one another;
Make us a cheerful giver;
With patience, we lend our heart and hand.
Kindly mould our good character;
And set some fine attributes we can share;
We are in dire need of your love,
We seek this gift from above.
Let us dream dreams
And see the vision of tomorrow.
So we may abide with faith;
And uphold our belief that
All great things from the small things come;
Your righteousness shall reign forevermore. Amen.
