Lord, give me your strength and grace,
That I will need to please you:   
Help me strive for holiness,
In the things I say and do.

When I find life difficult,
Stay by my side, Lord, I plead:
Your blessings bestow on me,
And the wisdom that I need.

Help me put my trust in you,
It's during times when I do :    
I find life more bearable,    ,                                        
To you. Lord, help me stay true.

Lord, be with me through my life,
Especially during strife.

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.
