This song is sometimes used at my church as a blessing for when the children leave for their own activities. We sing both verses, and they leave during the second.
Feel free to use either, or both, verses, as seems best to you.
God’s peace go with you,
God’s joy uplift you,
God’s love be in what you do and say.
God’s strength empower you,
God’s truth grow in you
And guide your steps as you walk His way.
God’s peace go with us,
God’s joy uplift us,
God’s love be in what we do and say.
God’s strength empower us,
God’s truth grow in us
And guide our steps as we walk His way.
