Birthday Song and Prayer for Padresteve

[ajh_dac]

Lord, grant us the strength from day to day
To bear what burdens come our way.

Grant us throughout this bright new year
More to endure and less to fear.

Help us live that we may be
From spite and petty malice free.

Let us not bitterly complain
When chrished hopes of ours prove vain,
Or spoil with deeds of hate and rage
Some fair tomorrow's spotless page.

Lord, as the days shall come and go
In courage let us stronger grow.

As the new year is underway
Help us to put our faults away.

Let us be big in little things;
Grant us the joy which friendship brings.

Keep us from selfishness and spite;
Let us be wise in what is right.

When this new year in time shall end
Let it be said we have played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

I can only imagine

What my eyes will see

When your face

Is before me

I can only imagine.....I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still

Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

Imagining your joy on your birthday. Thanking God for the gift of you.
