My Prayer

Help me to be forever thankful, 
for the heart ache and pain I feel today; 
For though it hurts, deep down inside, 
with each new pain, I kneel and pray. 
Teach me through my sorrow, 
When I am week help me to be strong, 
When I become scared or fearful, 
place deep in my heart a song; 
And when I find myself tempted, 
Lord give me the vision to see; 
The door just beyond the temptation, 
that your' holding open for me; 
And when my time has finally come, 
as I pass to the other side; 
I will get the chance, to thank you in person, 
for being my savior, and guide.
