The Power to Love

Dearest God today
Give me some joy along life’s way.
Keep my heart away from pain,
and let me not shed tears in vain,
Let there me a simple song
That warms my heart within
and let it keep my lonely heart
Full of love, away from sin.
Let my words today be pure
Like a sound of a distant bell
and as the winds of pain does storm
hold me close within your arms.
and to me some lovely little story tell.
Let me count my blessings fine
as I think of you today
and as the dark doth come tonight
let me love you through the light
and deep into the night
But most of all dear God today
Look to me from above
and grant me this one single wish
the power,
The gentle Power to Love.
