Naked Before God I Stand

Naked before God I stand, my faults well known, my heavy heart weighed, my soul seeking His Light, fearing the deepest dark.... Naked before God I live, and naked before God will I die. May He cover my slight soul in His cloak of eternal love.

Judged not for the clothes we were or the things we have, naked before God we are and will be. this thought gives much self awareness and reflection. well done.

Thank you, Charlie-- I wrote it as a poem, but you're right, it is a prayer.
