Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{The Prayer}

December 22, 2007

I had a moment this morning to sit and make a winter skinny using various rubber stamps from Paper Bag Studios and little hearts from justjohanna…I wanted to create something peaceful, glistening and sort of mystical…so I used various inks and embossing powders. Added some crystal glitter and a vintage image on some blue backgrounds…

I love the song “The Prayer” by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and wanted to share the lyrics with you…the song is on my music prayer at the bottom of the blog.


I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.

And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know.

Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way.

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace

To a place where we’ll be safe.

La luce che tu dai

Nel cuore restera

A ricordarci che

L’eterna stella sei.

I pray we’ll find your light,

And hold it in our hearts

When stars go out each night,

Remind us where you are..

Nella mia preghiera

Quanta fede c’e.

Lead us to a place ?

Let this be our prayer

When shadows fill our day

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza.

Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino,

Simbolo di pace…di fraternita.

La forza che ci dai

E desiderio te

Ognuno trovi amor

Intorno e dentro se.

Let this be our prayer,

Just like every child.

We ask that life be kind

And watch us from above.

We hope each soul will find

Another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer,

Just like every child.

Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

E la fede che hai acceso in noi

Sento che ci salverai…

    I commented on this in the gallery too—this is such a beautiful piece. At church this weekend we sang that song…what a Godincidence that you posted it here as well. :)

    Merry Christmas…and a merry and safe one to Andrew too.

    Hi Nancy!

    Your card is soft and beautiful and I particularly love the shade of blue in the background. It leaves me with such a calm, peaceful feeling and all of your touches make it perfect!

    Sending a warm, holiday wish to you & yours.
