My Prayer

[aeglyn]

Father in Heaven,

I thank thee for every moment, heartbeat and breath

I thank thee for this earth

And these bodies so blessed

For our freedom to choose

To do what is right in thy sight

No matter world views

I thank thee for our family and friends

And would treat kindly with them

Always as thou would intend.

I thank thee for life’s experience

That teach us compassion, wisdom

Charity and perseverance

I thank thee for giving thine only begotten

Who paid the cost of all of our sins

To remember Him always, not forgotten.

 

Let us not fear our future

And grieve no more pains of our past

Lead us by thy hand, our Tutor

Too all goodly endeavors and deeds

In service, love and charity

To our brother’s and sister’s needs

Bless their lives as thou has blest ours

Let us feel the warm tears of joy

And upon them all blessings shower

Strengthen us to stand in the light

That we may find peace amid chaos

In the hurricane of the world’s plight.

 

Watch over and protect those we love

With angels sent from thy presence above

Let all our thoughts to thee bend

Uphold us to endure to our end

Open the path Father, not just for me

That we all may find our way Home to thee.
