Dear Lord

This is my plea to you dear LORD, A prayer; the quickest way I can afford, With humility, my faith to you I accord, And in you, you alone LORD, I see, even In the darkness, a lit road. I live by your Staff and rod. By your command I’m guided; It is a road, My soul and being; your laws never goad, When by ills I’m gored, You are my pillar LORD, My faith and strength restored. My God, my shield, my LORD, You give me protection I can’t afford, Your guidance and forgiveness, repeatedly you accord, When I wrong you LORD, You never desert me; you guide me to the road. Occasionally you do not spare me the rod Whenever I stray from the road. Lucy and his servants goad, And by cunning schemes; off your paths I’m gored, But with your unending mercy, I’m restored. Amen
