My Family

No one means as much to me
As those I call my family. 
Each member’s lovely and unique
Without each one, we’re not complete.

The bond that ties us is strong as steel
It can’t be broken for we are sealed
With holy spirit from God above
Who calls us sons and His beloved.

Though we are many, we stand as one 
Against the foe ‘til the victory’s won.
In love our hearts are tightly knit.
Hope keeps our minds so we don’t quit.

We need each other, and that’s a fact.
By prayer, we have each other’s back.
Peace comforts us and gives us rest.
We shine as lights ‘cause we’re God’s best.

My family’s love sustains my heart
When we’re together and when we’re apart. 
Nowhere else can it be found
A household where such joy abounds.
