A Daughter's Blessing
Another day another year to celebrate this life
This time not just as daughter but as daughter and as wife
To live and be the person God's ordained that you should be
A living testimony He has planned for all to see
As in your home and workplace in the woods and in the field
Though tempted tried and put upon your spirit will not yield
To bowing to the tempter to disgrace the God you love
But will reflect the principles that grace His throne above
Where all is lived in harmony each person as their own
Peculiar personality to stand around God's throne
Like flowers in a garden each unique in their own way
That shine with God's amazing grace in all they do and say
From times and from experience they lived and learned from here
That made for them the love of God increasingly so clear
They could not help but want to be reflective of His will
That by their living testament another might be filled
With peace and with assurance God has love for them as well
Love that's profound and flourishing beyond what we can tell
That He has demonstrated by the Gift of His own Son The Son
Who came and died for us to make us all as one
And Who is there beside us waiting watching just to see
If given opportunity will we ask Him to be
Our Husband Guide and Maker helping us to be like Him
Revealing life to others that He wants to live in them
And sharing every moment what He's done for us before
When stumbling in temptation we found He adored us more
For realizing in our need He was the only Way
To have the joy we longed to have for which we learned to pray
So as you take each moment from this day into the next
Don't let the many challenges cause you to be perplexed
But focus every morning on how God is molding you
And you can be encouraged He'll be there in all you do
And will with those you cherish work to guide them everyday
In honor of your focus as you seek His will and pray
That one day up in glory when this sinful world is past
You'll live as one great family where love will ever last
Isaiah 54:1-8; 61:10-11
