Celine’s Prayer

A song from the good 'ol days popped into my head this morning. I found myself humming along and singing some of the lyrics as I tackled the ridiculous amount of laundry. How does the pile get so big, so fast?!! I will never understand.

Anyhow, as I was singing in my absolutely terrible, embarrassing singing voice, I realized that the lyrics would fit beautifully as a personal prayer with just a little tweaking. And, without further ado, I present to you Celine Dion's newly-revised song, “Because You Love Me.” Play the song in the background and sing along with these lyrics. You'll get chills or cry, I promise!

For all those times You stand by me

For all the truth that You make me see

For all the joy You bring to my life

For all the wrong that You make right

For every dream You make come true

For all the love I find in You

I'll be forever thankful, Hashem

You're the One Who holds me up

Never lets me fall

You're the One Who sees me through it all

You are my strength when I am weak

You are my voice when I can't speak

You are my eyes when I can't see

You see the best that is in me

You lift me up when I can't reach

You give me faith 'cause You believe

I'm everything I am

Because You love me

You give me wings that make me fly

You touch my hand, I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, You gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stand by me and I stand tall

I have Your love, I have it all

I'm grateful for each day You give me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I am blessed because I'm loved by You

You are my strength when I am weak

You are my voice when I can't speak

You are my eyes when I can't see

You see the best there is in me

You lift me up when I can't reach

You give me faith 'cause You believe

I'm everything I am

Because You love me

You are always there for me

The Tender Wind that carries me

A Light in the dark, shining Your love in to my life

You are my Inspiration

Through the lies You are the Truth

The world is a better place, because of You

You are my strength when I am weak

You are my voice when I can't speak

You are my eyes when I can't see

You see the best there is in me

You lift me up when I can't reach

You give me faith 'cause you believe

I'm everything I am

Because You love me

I'm everything I am

Because You love me

I think I see a new career on my horizon…
