A Sinner's Prayer

Dear father, Make me new Mold me, shape me, make me into what you wish Help me to rid myself of the profanities and temptations that wrack my soul. I fear not making it to the promised land Never to stand by the side of fallen family. I pray as I stand under the steaming, streaming water I beg to be made anew I ask for forgiveness of all the wrongs. Help me to make all the wrongs right And all the sins pure once more Make me new. Make me how you wish to see me Make me to be your servant and sister Holy son and father make me as you like Help me to be made anew. Help me dear son and father. If not famous or a poet or teacher Make me in your likeness and help me to stay pure. Help me to do what you wish for me to do Help me to feel your guiding hands leading me down the path of light Help me to see the temptations and not to fall into them Help me to do what is right. Help me help the misguided as some have done for me I beg of you to help me see the world and people how you see them I pray that I may one day again see the light. I, a sinner, kneel before you praying, asking, begging, to be whole and new. Amen
