Give Me Lord

Give me Lord a godly soul Who knows how best to pray. Give me Lord a humble soul Who would hearken your say. Give me Lord a covering roof To keep the sun away. Give me Lord a standing roof To keep the rain at bay. Give me Lord a paying job To busy me all day. Give me Lord a fruitful job That charity I may. Give me Lord a Lovely spouse A righteous one I pray. Give me Lord a dotting spouse Someone to play and sway. Give me Lord upright offspring To help me when I'm grey. Give me Lord steadfast offspring That won't forsook your way. Give me Lord a royal place For after-life-ing stay. Give me Lord a pleasant place Goodness is all I pray...
