My Prayer
Lord be with it where it went
I have no idea but its body is spent
The time has come to prove your worth
And lift the evil from this curse
Please put the punishment where it belongs
And quit harming those who have done no wrong
As a child I grew to learn
Lord only you and the devil have the right to spurn
So as I age and walk away
Please allow the devil his say
Crimes have been committed and some have escaped
I am asking you lord to unlock Hell’s gate
Release their wardens on this plot of land
And do allow them to reprimand
