I will be a candle in the darkness.
I will be the hand of heaven above.
I will be a mirror that reflects Your endless love.
I will be the hope among the hopeless.
Where there is conflict I will be peace.
Only by the power of Your spirit that's living in me, I will be.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
- From Josh Groban's Closer.

Grant, O meriful God,
that with malice toward none, with charity to all,
with firmness in the right as thou givest us to see the right,
we may strive to finish the work we are in;
to bind up the nation's wounds;
to care for him who shall have borne the battle
and for his widow and his orphan;
to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations.
- Abraham Lincoln
