Prayer 2013

Almighty, as we begin 2013 a new year, Speak to us daily,YOUR words we want to hear, On the road of life,safely steer, Open our eyes,of evil beware, Relieve us,of all our fears, Encourage us to do more,the world needs care... Almighty,2013 a new year we begin, Hold our hands,through thick and thin, Help us to search ourselves from deep with-in, Encouraging YOU,to wash away our sins, Let YOUR light,run through our limbs, Putting evil on stand-by,no time for him... Almighty,2013 our lives please bless, We will chant YOUR name,YOU do the rest...
