May the Lord bless you and keep you
May s/he shine a light upon your face
May you feel the heat of God’s glory in your bones
May you know God’s kindness and grace
May God’s love define your ways of living
May you see God’s face among your friends
May you live your story empowered by God love
May you be comfortable walking in your skin
May you find your worth from your maker
And live in freedom all of your days
May you grow in the sense of who you really are
May God’s light show you the way
May you know that you have the power
To add salt and light into this world
May you discover all your gifts
and give them generously
May you listen for God’s every word
