My Prayer
When love has gone sour and sour as a burning wound
That is left to heal on its own dear lord
And rhythm has eluded me to the point of utter shame oh lord
Your songs of praise bring me closer
Your faithful words give me hope and
Closer to your sanctuary I come oh lord
Closer to you I come and need you my God
I need you to hear my heart closer
Come and rescue it oh lord
Come cleanse me because I am yours and yours forever
Make me an eternal flame lord
Burning like an immortal soul
For I know you truly
From Genesis to Revelations oh lord
I am your son who you created
I am your servant to serve you for the glories of heaven
I wake everyday dear lord
Knowing that I need your saving grace
From Genesis to Revelations oh lord
You stand in mighty honor
You overcome the enemy with saving grace oh lord
You fight all the wars and battles that face your children
In Exodus you deliver the Israelites oh lord
So that slavery is not their eternal shame
You bring salvation so that there is rejoicing and praise
For your powerful name oh lord of lords
When I kneel down before you
My problems become insignificant oh lord
They become nothing compared to your awesomeness oh lord
The small voice that whispered to Moses was yours
In the burning bush you appeared oh lord
You appeared I shall wait to hear that voice too
I will meditate on your promises oh lord
Promises to heal my heart of hate
Promises to forgive my sins and bring redemption oh lord
Your promises to make me like you merciful God
A beauty in your kingdom I will be oh lord
A lovely Queen to rule in your kingdom.
What you freely give oh lord, when temptation comes
To thrust me from your arms I shall return and repent
Because you make me like an eagle and I shall await
Your heavenly kingdom oh lord
With your ancient wisdom like john your servant, I am amazed
By your revelations because you come to rule oh lord
To rule as king of kings and lord of lords
Alpha and omega, today and forever, hear me lord my prayer
