LOVE IN THE HOME |
Lord, bless our homes with peace and love and laughter,
With understanding and with loyalty. May we together follow Christ the Master And know the blessing of His sovereignty.
May every heart receive His loving spirit
And know the truth that makes life truly free; Then, in that spirit may we live united, And find in God our deep security.
Forgive the hurts our selfishness inflicted
On those we love and those who love us best. Christ, heal the scars, and draw us all together In him whose will is peace and joy and rest.
Father, in gratitude for homes and loved ones,
We open now our hearts to all mankind. Grant us Your spirit love for one another- So in Your peace may we our concord find.
Lord, bless our homes with peace and love and laughter, 4 stanzas with no Refrain Copyright permission not yet secured. |
