My Last Prayer

Life seems ending, I’m wedged in snow Chilled to the bone, no place to go A call to thee, to answer my prayer I’m so cold, losing ground with despair. Please take my soul, I bow unto you Few breaths ending, am lacking my view. Please have mercy; I am weak and numb My efforts are futile, I cannot overcome. Time is nearing, I’ll turn to stone Please lift me; don’t want to be alone. I know you’re here, I sense a lifting My fears are lessening, spirits now shifting. Alone I am not, but you I cannot see Take me with you, hereafter for eternity. Life flashes by, desperate wishes ascending wish for Eden, where tranquility is never-ending. Vitalize my arctic flesh, please restore my sight Release my darkest hour, admit the finest light Fulfill me with gladness, gracious divine powers To rest in fragrant flowers, heavenly endless hours.
