As I Pray
As I pray,
my silent signal travels to distant star
to be relayed to heaven, so near,
yet so far,
that you Lord may hear my plea,
to erase lifelong scars I inflicted unto thee
throughout my misguided existence.
I took for granted you died for me,
your laws I broke deliberately,
I thought of you infrequently,
sins upon my soul weigh heavily.
If I do not act and receive respite,
I fear damnation in pitch black night,
through your death I am ready to receive,
thy gift of life.
I renounce temptations darkness,
I worship you, I bask in your glorious light,
I fear not the night,
knowing when my soul departs this stage,
I will be within your sight throughout the age.
As I pray, a weight has lifted, I am rejoiced, I am saved,
I hear, I obey, your forgiving, loving ways.
