My Prayer
MY PRAYER
Father in heaven, Almighty God,
You made the heavens, the seas and sod,
The moon and the stars to shine at night,
And then, for the day, the bright sunlight.
You made them for signs for us to see,
The times and seasons Sabbaths will be.
You alone, can make holy a day,
Placing Your presence in it to stay.
Help me to keep them the way I should,
Oh God, most holy, righteous and good.
Keep me from trials too hard to bear,
And from the deceit of Satan’s snare.
When I consider Your creation,
It gives me so much inspiration,
I just want to sing and praise Your name,
Oh, Holy Father, Who’s still the same.
Yesterday, today and evermore,
You bring me through all my trials sore.
You heal my sickness and my sorrow,
And always bring a bright tomorrow.
Please let your kingdom come to this earth,
Restoring all things, giving rebirth,
Changing this body of flesh to one,
Like that of my Saviour, Christ, Your Son.
Provide all my needs from day to day,
And fill me with love in every way.
Let my many sins forgiven be,
As I forgive those who have wronged me.
This thing I wish for with all my heart:
Of tomorrow’s world, to be a part.
Yours is the kingdom, power and all;
Let me be a part, however small. Amen
