Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

Loving Father,

Often we forget your gifts to us,

letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

Show us how to look again,

to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Rosemary's Blessing

 

Thank you Lord for giving me

The brand new year ahead.

Help me live the way I should

As each new day I tread.

 

Give me gentle wisdom

That I might help a friend.

Give me strength and courage

So a shoulder I may lend.

 

The year ahead is empty

Help me fill it with good things

Each new day filled with joy

And the happiness it brings.

 

Please give the leaders of our world

A courage born of peace

That they might lead us gently

And all the fighting cease.

 

Please give to all upon this earth

A heart that’s filled with love

A gentle happy way to live

With your blessings from above.

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to
go about doing good,
Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
bless all people now.
