Genealogy Prayer
Lord, help me dig into the past
And sift the sands of time
That I might find the roots that made
This family tree of mine Lord,
help me trace the ancient roads
On which my fathers trod,
And let them through so many lands
To find our present sod
Lord, help me find an ancient book
or dusty manuscript,
That’s safely hidden now
In some forgotten crypt
Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
My soul when I can’t find,
The missing link between some name
That ends the same as mine
