My sweet Dad mentioned a song recently I had nearly forgotten. It's an old favorite by Margaret Becker, and really is a beautiful prayer of thankfulness. The second verse really could've been written by any of us, I guess, but sure does sum up my heart full of gratitude these days. Thanks Dad, for the reminder, and Maggie B, for expressing yourself so well.
All I Ever Wanted
From where I lay
I can see the sun
Rising through the trees
Before I face
This morning rush
I get down on my knees
I lift my eyes
And thank You for
This life you've granted me
I pray that every day I live
Your heart will be pleased
CHORUS
I pray for
Hands that hold You
Higher than anything else
And a heart that loves You
More than life itself
This is all I've ever wanted
This is all I want to be
All I've ever wanted
Is to love You
Faithfully
From where I stand
I can see the dreams
That you have fulfilled
Such kindness I did not deserve
But You gave it still
What do I have
That You did not give
There's nothing that I can see
So all I have to give to You
Is what You've given me
CHORUS
I pray for
Hands that hold you
Higher than anything else
And this heart to love You
More than life itself
This is all I've ever wanted
This is all I want to be
All I've ever wanted
Is to love You
Faithfully
I know I don't have the power
To love You like I should
But every day with everything I have
I wish I could
I'm standing here now
These words I pray
I wanna love You better
Whatever it takes
