Grant me quiet in my eve's sobs,
that I might never forget your love.
Bring me calm to my shadows of grief
and give me the candle of faith
to shine during any night
so I don't feel the darkness smother my hopes.
For though my heart is heavy with sadness
I pray you will lift it by your wings of grace,
resting in knowledge
of how my little angel I can see again
with one more chance to touch her face.
By trust I claim the mantle of your banner of peace
as a garment to wear over my soul,
being a fabric you weave with such care,
which I shall drape over my thoughts
ever knowing your mercy never stops.
Amen
