Purifying Love

Lord, thank you for the sunrise
And early morning light
The coo of mourning dove calling to her kin

Thank you for the pain and grief
That draws me to your heart
And births in me humility
Freeing me from sin.

Thank you for my family,
Friends gathered on the way,
For trials and joys of life
‘Tis worth them both, I know

Thank you for the sunrise
When the Morning Dove returns
With joyful notes resounding

Purifying love.
