My heart is heavy oh Lord, only you can ease this pain.

I come before you with thanksgiving, 

only You can make us whole again. 

Remember the ones I love so dear, 

hold them close, take away their fears. 

Tomorrow is not promised here on this earth, 

bend our knees as our hearts you search. 

fill us with your precious fire, 

make your love our one desire.

Teach us to trust you each day, never to doubt you 

this I pray, 

Amen. ~Terri Otterman
