Lord, You show us how to live

How to love and to forgive

Guide us through the day and night

To follow in Your holy light

CLOSING PRAYER

Picture
Lord, help me be a friend to the lonely and the shy

Help me give a helping hand instead of walking by

Help me always be a friend and say there's nothing to fear

Help me always be a friend and show Your love is near.

Amen
