Irish Prayer

Reaching deep into my Irish roots, I wish you this prayer:

An Irish Prayer

May God give you... For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer.

And, most of all, may God give you Jesus.  Please listen to this "not so Irish" spiritual that I sang with my trio last Sunday.  It's become part of my discipline of solitude...in the morning when I rise.  Trust me...no one can sing this song like Fernando Ortega (and don't you just love the name, Fernando?).  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rZ8k9m2hwo.
