Dear God please listen and gently hear
Our humble and emotional prayers
We don't have words to say today
But you know what we want in our way

We want your love and your smile
We wish to hold your hands all awhile
And hope for us a better tomorrow
That is free of all kinds of trouble and sorrow

God we need your blessings and your love
And cool breeze of peace from heaven above
And hope you can nourish our soul
And protect us from the tears of dole

Please change our lives forever today
Spread happiness and peace in our way
And protect us with your kindness well
So we can serenely in here dwell

And see your miracles unfolding nice
And flow of your blessings twice
With the stream of love, hope and faith
Where easily we can enter in heaven's gate.
