The Man Above

My father my lord My protective armour and sword The captain of my ward The Holy Spirit that keeps me on board Forgive me for I have sin Wash away my pain and wounds on my skin Give me strength for I am weak Bless me with wisdom in all I seek And patience before I speak Protect my family from any evil spell Keep us happy and well And let us not dwell with those from hell Keep me steady but always ready with a strategy To conquer all weapons formed against me
