My Prayer

Oh god i pray
Please don’t let me stray
Always rain on me your grace
Your unending tail
I will always trail
Oh god i pray
Please do guide my way
And never yet disgrace...
Show mercy even beyond
And draw me with your bond
Oh God finally this i pray:
Forgive my every sinful deeds
And do not allow my too much needs
To grow round me like weeds
So i can tame my greed
Dear lord all these i pray!
