She has touched my life with

God’s tender loving grace

Helped me through the pain that

Sometimes I can’t face

She has shown me the silent courage that

It always seems to take

To be a better person each morning

When I wake

She has been my beacon shining with

God’s great, loving Light

Giving me the strength to win

Each battle that I fight

With age-worn hands she has brushed

Away the tears

Circled me with loving arms

To chase away the fears

She has put me in her pocket

To keep me safe and sound

I only hope I’ll walk beside her

When she reaches, God’s holy ground.
