My Prayer

Teach me Lord,
To have the faith that makes mountains move
To never doubt when it comes to you
To have the wisdom to speak the truth
Teach me Lord, to be like you

Show me Lord,
The narrow path through the winding hills
The hardened heart that needs to be healed
The patience needed to be still
Show me Lord, what is in your will

Guide me Lord,
Humbly in what is right
From my darkness into your light
From the death I lead to the one truth life
Guide me Lord, with your Holy sight

Forgive me Lord,
For the times I've done it on my own
For the thoughts that invade me when I'm alone
For the times I've hurt you and have not known
Forgive me Lord and bring me Home
