Father,
thank You for fathering me,
as Your very own
and at great cost to You.
when You first created this bond
with mice and men,
You saw the mess
we would all be in for.
glad You were okay with that.
as Your daughter,
i need constant care.
i'm not ashamed to admit it.
You stick around.
i have only known
your good, good heart.
help me honor
my brothers and sisters
of earth and of Heaven.
we outnumber the stars
but You call us by name.
accept our childlike trust
and steady us on Your way.
what better business is there
than the family's?
in Jesus' name,
thank You for fathering me,
as Your very own
and at great cost to You.
when You first created this bond
with mice and men,
You saw the mess
we would all be in for.
glad You were okay with that.
as Your daughter,
i need constant care.
i'm not ashamed to admit it.
You stick around.
i have only known
your good, good heart.
help me honor
my brothers and sisters
of earth and of Heaven.
we outnumber the stars
but You call us by name.
accept our childlike trust
and steady us on Your way.
what better business is there
than the family's?
in Jesus' name,
AMEN
