A Simple Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
Keep me where I will not weep
If I should die before I wake
Let me ascend to heavens gate
If I should live another day
Help me to be all that I may
So I may be a light for you
To show others that You're true
If I should live another year
Help me to be so sincere
Let me praise with all I have
So some see your mercy is a salve
To heal their lives and save their souls
To mend each heart so full of holes
Help me to know you more each day
So full of love I want to stay
If I should live a long long life
Help me to cope with all life's strife
I end this prayer with this request
Help me to be my very best
