My Prayer

Precious Lord,
i come to you today.
For there are just a few things
that i need to say

Regarding our friendship
and the way it used to be
i can only hope dear Lord,
that you hear my plea

We have known each other
for quite some time.
You were there for me
when i didn't have a dime.

i have since been led astray
by worldly obsessions,
and the strongest desires
for materialistic possesions.

One day,
as i fell to my knees.
your voice whispered softly
like a gentle breeze.

Reassuring me
that there is no greater love,
and that it can only be found
in the heavens above.

i realize now
that your trust was betrayed,
and i cannot mend those promises
that i so boldly made.

i am asking for your forgiveness
in this very hour,
for i truly have been touched
by your greatness and power.

You are the only one
with whom i can share,
these few words,
better known as "My Prayer"
