Bless my friend, Lord, lift her head Fill her bright blue eyes with wonder Fill her tender heart with Joy Pour your oil over her Like it flowed down Aaron's beard From the crown to her feet Lift her hands to praise Send Aaron and Hur to hold them up Bless, bless, heal and hold Greet her in the morning Sunshine and birdsong New grass and blue skies Walk throughout her house at night Steal in and sit on her bed Stroke her hair and tell your stories Sing to her Promises and inspirations Reach down inside her where only you can Excise every lie and speak truth Show her beauty to her Release her to sing and dance Lion of Judah within her, roar Rise up Mighty One of Israel Within her, around her, over her Bless, Lord, bless, bless, bless Fill her legs with the dance of David Put the Jawbone in her hand Send her out against the Philistines Bring her into her Canaan Show her a hill full of giants to slay Reveal yourself in your sister Reveal your sister to herself Sister to the King Stephen Pursell, for Candy McCracken, 7/04 | ![]() ![]() |
