A Little Prayer

A Little Prayer

 

For each night before I fall to sleep

I close my eyes to say a little prayer

And as I begin to pray

I thank the good Lord for all

He has blessed me with

 

Then, I begin to say,

 

Lord, I thank you for your love

That you have given to me

I know it is here to stay

 

Lord, I thank you too, for caring

About my life and I too know

So many others may not

 

For this maybe of shame

Yet, you still stand beside me

 

I may not have a fortune of money

To give or to share

But Lord, I do have a fortune of love

With you that I am willing to tell

 

For this I know is true

When temptation has caused me to fall

It will be you to help me to stand tall

And for when others look down at me

You will have forgiven me for all

 

Although, many others may not see

Just how strong and how true your love can be

They will see you have not forsaken me

 

For you are my witness unto all

It will be then, that I have told

To each and every one of all

My little prayer that I will share

 

Then, they too, will make their own

Little prayer unto, you

For then later, they cannot say

They’re to late

 

 

From this little simple prayer of mine

The world will then know

That you are there for

Them just as you

Have been for me

 

There is one last thing I need to say,

I thank you my dear Lord

For that you have not forsaken me

Amen!
