Blessed Friend

Bless him Lord, bless my friend Bless him as he tosses to and fro Strengthen him in the fight Let him know he is not alone Help him feel he's not forgotten Show him he'll not be pushed aside Pull him close, bathe him in your love Hold him and heal him And maybe me too I need the same healing Heal us with your words Heal us with each other Hug us with each other Make us children again Running through the grass Skipping and playing Shouting and singing The music of children's voices Bless my friend, Lord, carry him Whisper gently to him in the night Come to him and snuggle him Wrap up the little boy inside Be his Papa and cradle him Blow on his face, stroke him to sleep He's tired, Lord, he's hungry He needs to find a resting place Bring us home together Help us find our place in the sun Help us find our place in the Son Stephen Pursell, 11/26/02
