Dear Lord, our Redeemer,
Of Israel, You are the Holy One,
You teach us what is for our good,
When all is said and done.

Now surely, we will be quite blessed.
Blessed and filled with light,
If we contemplate through the day,
And also, through the night,
Your loving laws and mysteries,
As we pray for each son and daughter,
We will be, like a strong tree,
with nearby running water.

A tree that yields its fruit,
When its season becomes due.
A tree with leaves ever-fresh,
If we can but give our lives to You.

Dear Jesus we pray for loved ones,
Who’ve roamed far from living water.
We pray for loved ones dear to us,
We pray for sons and daughters.

Draw them now close to You LORD,
And Your living water stream,
Inspire them to repent,
Bow down, in humbled esteem.

May they seek You in the silence,
Of that first most holy night.
May they stay ever close to You,
And have the light of life.

(Based on Isaiah 48:17-19; John 8:12)
