Prayer

I ask of you not a lot
For I rarely ask at all
And it's only when there is no other
And the world I fear may fall
So as I kneel before you
It is your help I'm begging for
Please Lord extend your arms
To the ill, the homeless and the poor
I pray you will look after them
Keep them warm at night
Please Lord help them find their strength
Give them courage to stand and fight
I rarely ask for anything
But the world it is starting to fall
Poverty is among us Lord
So please Lord bless us all
