May Jesus

 

May the Lord Jehovah grant you
a sound body, spirit, mind,
May He show you what to press toward
and what to leave behind,
May His richest blessings seek you out
and chase you down the street ~ and
May Jesus be more real to you
than anyone you meet.

May the One who loves you, favor you
and crown your home with peace,
May He fill your heart with special hope
and faith that shall not cease,
May you learn to seek His refuge first
and worship at His feet ~ and
May Jesus be more real to you
than anyone you meet.

May you always strive to please Him,
seek His face before His hands,
May you hunger for His wisdom
that no mortal understands,
May He fill your rooms with love and joy
until they overflow ~ and
May Jesus be more real to you
than anyone you know.

May the things you lay your hands to
tend to prosper and succeed,
May it please Him to fulfill your dreams
and meet your every need,
May He satisfy your soul's desires
until you crave Him so ~ and
May Jesus be more near to you,
more clear to you,
more cheer to you...
May Jesus be more dear to you
than anyone you know.

--Connie

"Now to Him who,
by the power that is at work within us,
is able to do super-abundantly,
far over and above
all that we dare ask or think
(infinitely beyond our highest prayers,
desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams)...
To Him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations
forever and ever. Amen (so be it)."

(Ephesians 3:20-23 The Amplified Bible)
