A little bit of praise, a little bit of prayer goes a long long way.
Security, that's all I ask.
To be safe and secure in Your arms.
Protected from the elements,
Protected from all harm.
To know beyond a single doubt,
That I can count on You.
To know that I'll not be denied,
When my time on earth is through;
And when I lay me down at last,
To take my final rest,
I'll do so in assurance,
That I have passed my test.
Not because I did so well,
Or because I never failed,
But because despite it all,
My faith has never paled;
Because You stayed close by me,
Even when I knew You not.
Protecting, loving, guiding me,
Though Your laws I had forgot.
There was so much I wanted,
That I would not achieve,
And looking back upon it all,
I'm sorry You were grieved.
I want to thank You for my life,
For standing in the ranks,
Waiting there to catch me,
Like a Father, Dear God, Thanks.
