The Artist's Prayer
Dear God
I thank you
For You have blessed me
You have chosen me
You have given me purpose
I thank You for my gift
For because of its purpose
It is as valuable as the gift of life
With the gift of song You placed in me
The world will sing of Your glory
The lost will sing of Your grace for they are saved
The sick will sing of your mercy for they are healed
Through the gift of writing with which you lead my hands
The world will read of You awesome power
They will read poems of Your never ending love
They will read stories of how You raise the dead
In the pictures and paintings that You inspire me to make
Peo
