Reaching for what might have been,
Stretching toward what may yet be;
Leaning inward to the heart
For the faith to see.

Faith for vision clear and true,
Hope to brave the shadows,
Love to bear the time apart;
Grace for all that follows.

Longing for God’s best for you,
Yet, pining for your presence;
I pray our lives together bring
More of love’s pure essence.
