I offer to God

written for the baptism of my neice

I offer to God
A prayer of thanksgiving
For the life of this child
here in our midst
And I give to God praise
for the love which surrounds him/her
for the life of this child
is my hope for the world

I offer to God
A prayer of blessing
For the love of these parents
here with their child
And I give to God praise
for the love which they offer
as they nurture their child
in the love of God

I offer to God
A prayer of compassion
For the lives of the children
all over the world
And I pray for them peace
and for love to surround them
that they may grow to know
the love of God

I offer to God
A prayer for forgiveness
For the lives of the people
all over the world
And I pray for justice
and I pray for salvation
for the love of God
is the hope for the world
