Martha Anderson

Today is the beginning
Of God's perfect plan anew
And from here you'll grow and nurture
All the gifts inside of you

Created for God's glory
You've been blessed from up above
Endowed with grace and beauty
As a symbol of His love

You will walk in paths of honor
And you'll speak at wisdom's gate
You'll be known among the noble
Of all women small and great

You will see through eyes of faith
When the storms of life rage strong
You will stand upon God's promise
And find peace to carry on

You will listen with your heart
And be swift to hear the good
With a kind and gentle spirit
You'll treat others as you should

And as your mother, I'm very proud
Of what you will become
Inside my heart you hold a place
Reserved for only one
