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.
