Lord we Thank You....

Lord We Thank You

Lord, We thank you for this day,

for the joy of the morning,

the love of this family, waking from slumber

in this house, this home you have provided,

going out into the world, to college, to school,

to work, into the world, not of this world,

for you have touched our hearts and our lives,

have cleaned some of the grime of this life,

some of our scar tissue, to give us peace.

Grant us peace this day Lord, watch over us

be with us on the path you have laid before us

this day we pray our creator and sustainer

help us focus on what we must do today,

help us be satisfied, gratified, with what we do

in your name today Lord.

Give us strength for today and rest tonight Lord

so we may do your will and your work

today and the rest of our lives as individuals

as a family in your name

Amen
