My Father Your Father Our Father-Prayer

My Father Your Father Our Father-Prayer


My guardian and protector, from the evils of deception

I thrive in your presence, by learning from your correction

The past present and future, you are the connection

My life has purpose, when others see your reflection


I lift my hands, to the “Ancient of days.”

Allow me to walk, in the counsel of your ways.

Accept my offering, as I give you praise.

Let my tongue be honourable, in every phrase.


I have strayed from the path, that you gave

Without you, I’m destined for the grave

To my desires, I’ve been a slave

Transform my weakness, please make me brave.


I am unworthy, I know it is true

Nothing in this world, compares to you

Seeing through your eyes, the world is new

You are perfection, in all that you do.



Some seek to find you, through the words of the Koran

Others choose the Bible  to learn of your plan

My understanding is finite for I am just a man

Help me to be humble, please reveal all you can


Fulfill my desire, exchange bitter for sweet

At the waters of baptism, we shall meet

My direction each step, please guide my feet

You give me breath, you make my heart beat.


It is another beautiful poem in collaboration with Dear Richard.
Thanks for his nice efforts in shaping this beautiful pray.

I read this on Richard's site first, and like it even better the second time :) Wonderful collaboration...I do read the Bible, but try not to label myself anything but a believer. You might like my "Simple Rhyme for Complex Times"... may God smile on you today friend :)
