My Prayer Pt 1

Jesus am down here right on my knees in your 
holy sanctuary
To speak to you through my prayers cos I don't 
want to be stationary.
I ain't a mercenary who has the love for money,
But Am here to pray for my foes and the devil's 
obituary.
Am like Hannah who went to Shiloh
To pray without laying on a pillow
Her prayers weighed more than a kilo
And samuel became her hero
Am here like Hannah with a heart that is heavy 
with so much burden
I don't know how it came,but it came so very 
sudden.
But still am here with a contrite heart,my words I 
ain't gonna chew,
Am going to say it out as clear as the morning 
dew.
Please forgive me my sins and my iniquity,
Disregard how big or small and its propensity,
Your vicinity is where I wanna be cos of its 
transparency,
Give me a change of heart and also a new identity,
Lord help me not to speak profanity and wish for 
vanity,
Cos vanity upon vanity will always yield vanity.
I pray my goals and aspirations you help to 
proliferate,
And not for my visions and dreams to begin to 
emanciate.
Though the hard times is kinda giving me a great 
K.O,
Your strenght is all I need so I can challenge them 
blow for blow.
Lord I know I've been asking for so many 
wishes,like riches,
But all those riches have come with so many 
stiches.
Lord help me seek first your kingdom,
That will come in the next millenieum,
Cos the reality of it is left to my own wisdom.
Lord the enemy never stop strategizes with his 
devices,
Guide me from all his vices,
And all those spiritual crisis.
Cos I get scared sometimes I don't know what will 
happen tommorow,
I pray is not something bad that will bring me so 
much sorrow.
Jesus,I have friends who might not stay,
I want friends who'll stay come what may,
A friend in you who,ll make my life turn blue,
Aam waiting for the day to lay my eyes on you and 
be more like you.
Lord I want to go so higher like you,
And shine so brighter like you,
I want to be so greater like you,
Am on my knees now speaking to you,
Cos right now this my prayer at quarter past two.
