My Lord and my Savior,
Thy name I do praise
For manyfold blessings
Bestowed by thy grace.
My son is so special;
He’s one of a kind:
A more giving young man
No other can find.
A pilot of aircraft and
Self-taught musician,
Who’s busy preparing his
Sacred commission.
And so for my son
I entreat thee today
To find him a wife
Who will walk in this way:
An adventurous spirit
And kind-hearted soul,
Committed to making
Another flesh whole.
Blessing her husband
With happy young children
And raising them up
With a love of God’s wisdom.
Keeping of healthy
Traditional foods and
Making good meals that
Strong bodies can use.
Hiking the mountains,
Camping by streams,
And grilling the trout
On the fire with ease.
Loving God’s word
With a passion to teach
By composing of poems
And songs that we sing.
I know it’s alot
To ask for my son,
But no other is fit for
The race to be run.
So I thank thee, my Father,
For works thou hast done;
And I thank thee for doing
This work now begun.
