The Sinners Prayer

Take me to the altar, Lord 
Show me how to pray
Let not my words sound as though
I am the one who disobeys
Open my heart and teach my soul 
How to listen and how too obey
Before my mind closes and my body turns to clay
For in you, I know there is a way
Show me that doorway and reveal the way
Before my spirit starts too decay
Let my soul know it will be okay
Precious savior don't send me away
I no longer choose to stray
Let me learn how to repay for all the things 
I have done throughout the day
