My Prayer
“ Have Mercy Upon me, and Hear My Prayer.”
PSALM 4:1
O Father, Hear Me as I Pray to Thee,
I know that I am far from Purity;
But Jesus Died that Sinful men might Live,
So in His Name I ask Thee to Forgive.
Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh Hear my Humble Plea.
I Pray that Thou wilt Pardon every Sin;
O Lord, Forgive and make me Pure Within.
Plant a Desire for Service in my Heart
And give me Strength to always do my Part.
Tonight, O Father, as the Shadows Creep
And I so Gently Close my Eyes in Sleep,
I Pray that Thou Wilt Guard me Through the Night
And keep me Safe till comes the Morning Light.
When Morning Comes, oh, let me Rise to Work,
Forbid that Duty I should ever Shirk;
And when at last My Race on Earth is Run,
Grant, Lord, that I may Hear Thee Say,:
“ Well Done.”
