Father
Blessing that descends from above,
Rain of grace in every step,
Divine hand that blesses us,
Light in the shadow, when the soul lasts.
Blessing in laughter, in tears,
In every day, in every moment,
Tender look of the eternal Father,
In his love, we are like Birds, taking flight.
Soft wind that caresses the soul,
Strength in the test, love that exalts,
Spring of life in discouragement
Living hope in uncertainty.
Blessing in the bread of each day,
In the embrace, in laughter,
Pure wealth in simplicity,
Life of love forever
Peace.
Father of Heaven, look at how life is,
War, hunger, sadness,
But YOU my beloved, with Your Look,
Bring to our path light, calm and peace.
