Prayer

Jesus,



Keep me in your presence

and bless me with your grace

Allow me to walk in your will

and hide not your face

Teach me your precepts

forever and always

and I vow to follow you all of my days.



Shield me with your power

Keep me in perfect peace

Cover me with your blood

Do with me as you please



Let not my enemies overtake me

as I seek your face

Love me Lord until infinity

so I can run this race



Hold me in your hands

so I may proclaim your name

HIS plans are greater than my plans

because Jesus deserves the fame.
