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!
