Homemaker's Hope

It is just an empty box

This shell of mortar, bricks, wood; stone

But it is what we put inside

That turns a house into a home

Lord, teach us how to fill our homes
Only with things that You approve

A haven from life’s troubled storms

Of joy and peace; of hope and love

And may the house that we call home

Dear Lord, by You be richly blessed

A place where each of us may come

And know that we are loved the best
