This Day

I thank you Lord for this day and for this day Lord I pray. I pray for the church may it stand tall and strong, for your church is much needed for a world that's gone terribly wrong. I pray for the children all sunny and bright, for it's a shame, they walk in the night.

I pray for the souls both near and far, who wonder the land not knowing who they are. Lord I pray poor who don't have a dime, for being poor is there only crime. I also pray for the rich, who stands arrogant, proud and tall, for they don't know, that's it's all your call.

I pray for the women who give there bodies for dope, while giving up there souls and loosing all hope. And a prayer for the young, who's killing and selling dope and thinking it's something good, for they don't know, that Satan runs there hood.

Now we can talk about the bad things in this world all day and night, but without you Lord we in for a loosing fight, for the one we fight is extremely mean, and he's not human nor can he be seen. 

For Lord, Your Word say. Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened and you will not be left behind. For you are Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end. Our Lord, Our Savior, Our Father and Friend.

Thank You Lord For This Day. I PRAY.

Hello Diane, Thank you for stopping by and sorry for just getting back to you but I have run into some problems, nothing The Lord can't handle, it just seems that something is trying to stop me from writing my poems. Every time I want to write, something seems to get in the way. What do you think?
