A Holy Heritage

​I am thy mother’s comfort — 
​She has a special place,
And meets Me there each day for prayer
Before My Throne of Grace.
While praying for her husband
And children — each by name,
She asks Me for just one day more
To keep each gentle frame.
Her best friend now has cancer — 
Oh, how she lifts her up!
She vows to live each day I give
To share from her full cup.
 
I am thy father’s courage — 
A model for his life:
That he’d adore his children more,
And cherish more his wife.
He rises in the morning
And meets me every day.
I love to hear his footsteps near
And watch him kneel to pray.
And in his daily workplace,
He shows integrity
In all he does and says, because
He does it all for Me.
For You, O God, hast heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
Psalm 61:5
