This Is My Prayer
Bless me, Heavenly Father,
forgive my erring ways,
Grant me strength to serve Thee,
put purpose in my days...
Give me understanding,
enough to make me kind
So I may judge all people
with my heart and not my mind...
And teach me to be patient
in eveything I do,
Content to trust Your Wisdom
and to follow after You...
And help me when I falter
and hear me when I pray...
And receive me in Thy Kingdom
to dwell with Thee someday.
