Dear God, You were there with me
before I began to grow in my mother’s
womb
Your love for me was unconditional
I did not need to pay
You knew I would separate myself
from you
as I moved through my youth
running, jumping, and playing
No worry of now, no fear of tomorrow
You stood beside me, barely seen,
as I blossomed to womanhood
You watched with love as I crafted
my life
carrying me in the rough spots
glowing beside me when my life shined
As my spirit grew I learned to
hear your word
Thank you, God, for showing me Who
You Are
Thank you for your love that
passes all understanding
Thank you for your gifts to me
of strength, and courage, and joy, and
humbleness
Thank you, God, for the people in
my life who love me
as I love them
Father, I am now preparing for the time
when I will be nearer to you
Be with me Lord, very close, as I
approach this transition
Hold my failing body in your hands
Fill my heart with your Divine
Love
Enlighten my spirit
Help me to know my loved ones are
cradled at this time
of their sorrow
I love you, Jesus
And I know you love me,
unconditionally
You hold my body in your hands
You fill my heart with Divine Love
You bring my spirit to the most
pure light
You give me peace beyond all human
understanding
Thank you God
Thank you God
amen |
