Bless This Life

Bless this life, O Lord, I pray, Guide my steps throughout the day. In the ordinary and the grand, Hold me in Your mighty hand. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.”(Numbers 6:24-25)

Bless the work I set my hand to do, And make my simple faith anew. Bless the words I speak and hear, And hold me close,ever near. “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands.”(Psalm 90:17)

Bless the quiet, bless the strife, Weave it for Your use in life. Bless the joy and bless the pain, Like sun and rain on growing grain. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.”(Romans 8:28)

Bless my heart to know Your way, To follow You and to obey. Bless me,not for my renown, But to make Your glory known. “You are the light of the world...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”(Matthew 5:14,16)

So bless my life, and let it be A living prayer,offered to Thee. A testament of grace and love, Reflecting blessings from above.

Amen.
