"THIS I PRAY"

Melissa Darsey 1984 (Greenville)



**Heavenly Father this I pray,
Please banish this sickness from our Goo.
Heal her body in every way,
For now I dedicate her back to You.
**And she's a jewel upon this Earth,
Created perfectly by Your own hands.
She'd been made in Your image before her birth,
She'll serve You in Your favor & will follow Your commands.
**For "God's Favor" is the meaning of her middle name,
Which is why I had chosen to call her Grace.
She'll do wonders for Your Kingdom all in the same,
Setting a happy smile, upon Your glorious face.
**So I ask You to watch over her tonight,
Help her to gently slumber away.
Please make her illness vanish from sight,
Oh, Heavenly Father, this I pray.
