A Prayer

I folded hands and bent my knees To ask for mercy, pray for peace To give me strength to flow with tide To accept odds when petrified O dear Lord, bless me please I've lost my way, future seems blurred My mind and heart can't be concurred No ray of light my eyes perceive Give me some sign, help me believe O dear Lord, guide me please I know I've sinned but I'm human I lack poise; I'm not inhuman Are my faults irremissible? Is my plea inadmissible? O dear Lord, have mercy I look up to you day and night You're my armour for every fight Every dusk when darkness shrouds me Dawn instills faith as devotee O dear Lord, be with me   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
