Prayer For Genealogists

Lord, help me dig into the past,
And sift the sands of time,
That I might find the roots that make
This family tree mine.
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads,
On which my fathers trod,
And led 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 away,
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.

No matter which way you bend him,
he will always take root again."

Family...
Like branches on a tree,
we all grow in different directions,
yet our roots remain as one.
Each of our lives will always be a
special part of the other's.
