I lift these hands, dear God, to You,

in praise and thanks for all you do.


You light the path through all my days


and bless me with your loving ways...




I lift these hands dear God, to You,


in troubled hours when joys are few.


You bear me up on eagles'wings and see


me through each test life brings.




I lift these hands, dear God, to You,


please grant me wisdom, patience, too.


Then fill my heart with love and caring,


precious gifts you've made for sharing.


~ Emily Matthews, Poet
