May there be streams in your desert.
May you sleep in the company of angels,
cradled on wings of grace.
May your dreams be filled with the music of Heaven,
may you wake in a hallowed place.
May you love as you are loved,
and pray as one who has the ear of God.
May your faith blossom on a vine
planted in the Lord’s vineyard
as the wine of His nearness fills you with joy.
Let there be streams in the desert
and highways for your journey.
Let praise fill your night
and crown your day with gladness.
And when the shadows come.
And when the shadows come
may your heart hold hope enough
and faith enough
to look up
and see the face of God,
smiling.
