For All
For all we have
Not all we think we need
For all the mountains
Broad valleys, deepest seas
For all our dreams
Our hopes
The friendships that we gain
For all our loss
Our heartache
All our pain
For all the love
That blesses us with peace
We pray for strength
Sustain us fore we feast
We praise this force
That graces us in need
And pray for peace
In every word and deed
