Prayer For Home - Fernando Ortega

Grant them peace, most precious gift of all

Keep the worried world far away and small

When they return, may quiet fill their souls,

Dearest Lord, keep them safe within it’s walls.

May the stone be cool beneath their feet.

The canyon breezes circle soft and sweet

When darkness falls, the stars and opal moon

Find them wrapped in each other, ever warm.

May it be a refuge for their love,

A harbor for their deepest prayer.

May they come to flourish in the grove,

Grow ever nearer to You there.

Many a burdened friend in their company rises,

A heavy heart is soon released to fly.

May their table be blessed with laughter and with grace

And by the comfort of kinship be surprised.

May it be a refuge for their love,

A harbor for their deepest prayer.

May they come to flourish in the grove,

Grow ever nearer to You there.

May the cold wind blow far from their front door

May the winter rains never bring them harm

May their hearthfires burn throughout the night

Grant them peace until morning’s perfect light.

May it be a refuge for their love,

A harbor for their deepest prayer.

May they come to flourish in the grove,

Grow ever nearer to You there.
