As I Pray

As I pray, my silent signal travels to distant star to be relayed to heaven, so near, yet so far, that you Lord may hear my plea, to erase lifelong scars I inflicted unto thee throughout my misguided existence. I took for granted you died for me, your laws I broke deliberately, I thought of you infrequently, sins upon my soul weigh heavily. If I do not act and receive respite, I fear damnation in pitch black night, through your death I am ready to receive, thy gift of life. I renounce temptations darkness, I worship you, I bask in your glorious light, I fear not the night, knowing when my soul departs this stage, I will be within your sight throughout the age. As I pray, a weight has lifted, I am rejoiced, I am saved, I hear, I obey, your forgiving, loving ways.
