you touch my soul with spirits light
you understand the longing
that comes in the darkest nights
you lead me through the valley
to the mountaintop so high
so I can see what lies before me
and be given the strength I need to find
you know my deepest secrets
you forgive me when I stray
you reach out and embrace me
with Your loving kindness everyday
thank you beloved teacher
thank you God within
for being there in Spirit
with blessings that never end
