light the sun emits                                  
what mustard brings to cold cuts
you're my life's sunshine

For the beauty of the heavens,
I give my thanks, dear Lord to Thee::
Crickets and frogs that play music.
Are a grand orchestra to me.

For the rippling streams of water,
Where I obtain my daily food:
Where animals come for water,
I am  thankful with gratitude.

For watercress that lives in streams
I collect to go with my meals:
When it's in a bright green color,
Its healthiness it then reveals.

For friends that I can confide in,
Thanks, dear Lord for sending my way:
When I find life dark and dismal,
They bring  sunshine into my day.

Most of all, Lord I am grateful,
For your love for me without end:
You  bring hope and joy in my life,
Lord, you are my forever friend.

Lord, give us strength to persevere,
When hope appears it's at its end:
When trials test our faith in you,
Strength in our hearts to us then send.

Be our strength in times of troubles,
stumbling in life help us not be.    
Rigid like rock help us stand firm,  
Willing to put our trust in Thee.  

Give us dear Lord what we need most,
  In holiness, Lord, help us live,
Help us Lord, to not hold grudges,
And show us how we should forgive.
        
Peer pressure help us not succumb.
Help us live lives that are wholesome.

is done with a pet
on back of a wedding dress
wheels roll on rails, train

they're very small coins                               
the  dust ones cause allergies
small arachnids, mites

some, muscle builders
use when dirt has some moisture
long handled tamper

Loving Lord, bestow on us,
Your grace that we're in need of:
Hate, help our hearts never hold,
And be open to true love.

On our journey, while on earth,
Help us so we will please you:
Your wisdom brings to us joy,
It, Lord, help us to pursue.

Draw us, Lord, to your Kingdom                                         
Where love is heaven's center:
A place Satan can't sneak in
Where there He can not enter.

More like You, help us to see.
Pure and clear , help our souls be.
