Lord, Bless Our Homes
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1Lord, bless our homes with peace and love and laughter,
With understanding and with loyalty.
May we together follow Christ the Master,
And know the blessing of His sovereignty.
2May every heart receive His loving spirit
And know the truth that makes life truly free;
On whose we love and those who love us,
We open now our hearts to all mankind.
3Forgive the hurts our selfishness inflicted,
Christ, heal the scars, and draw us all together.
Grant us Your spirit love for one another,
So in Your peace may we our concord find.
4And know the blessing of His sovereignty.
And find in Him whose will is our deep cure,
In Him whose peace may we and our concord find.
