My God,

I am overwhelmed
In the thankfulness
Of my humble heart

You have answered
My most fervent prayer
She is coming home

My life
Has always been
Full in your grace

Yet, still
My life is more full
In union with her

Expand my heart
So that I may be to her
An instrument of your love

Let me be, today and ever
A kind and righteous man
In the power of your grace

Move me to be
Forever thankful
For all your great gifts

Most especially
The great and loving gift
Of a perfect loving wife

Amen
