My Prayer
Lord, help this deeply flawed servant pray;
may your glory shine, to light my path;
my arrogance and pride have led me astray;
only with love can I avoid your wrath.
I’ve become filled with a lifetime of guilt;
a virtual hurricane; wreaking destruction;
deserving of hell; please do as thou wilt;
my soul is the fount of corruption.
I’ve made many promises; mostly token;
I was serious, when I made them;
my weakness allowed that many be broken;
still, you, faithfully, forgave them;
I cannot continue in this body of clay;
tho, only you know my love within;
physically, I’m aging, and full of decay;
I pray that your new life, enter in.
I fervantly pray for a new tomorrow;
when all souls, together, become;
a new world awaits; devoid of sorrow;
and death; merely the setting sun.
May the angels answer your clarion call;
and this kingdom come to its end;
our pride and arrogance destined its fall;
may your kingdom of light transcend.
May tomorrow, not be, just another day;
may I become your new creation;
may I feel your love; lighting my way;
and, my death, become my salvation.
