Lord of Life

​

Lord of life, guide my hand

Reveal to me thy master plan

of all things I could do and say

to bring to life thy Will today

​

Lord of life, open my heart

Instruct me in the simple art

of going within this sacred space

to hear your Word, receive your Grace

​

Lord of Life, support my soul

when times of tests and pain unfold

Remind me then, I've chosen this:

a way to grow, the road to bliss

​

Lord of Life, surround my being

with tender light of timeless healing

so love on every side abounds 

from me to others and back around

​

Lord of Life, I humbly thank thee

for all the beauty around and in me

Flower, snow, wind and tree

Your blessings are everywhere

endless and free
