Sister Of The King

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
