A Righteous Man's Prayer Poem by Reginald Walker

I need your help, Oh God, I pray.
Some things, I just do not understand.
I faithfully try to do as you tell me each day.
Your forgiveness makes me a righteous man.

Still, you often must find me where I fail.
You continually rescue me from harms way
Even when against your will I willfully rebel,
You mercifully bless me to see a new day.

Give me all of the strength I really need
To be the person that you need me to be.
As upon the Holy Scriptures, I daily feed,
Seeking for the greatness of your love for me.

Please, God help me to finally understand
I must frequently ask you to forgive my sin.
Your forgiveness makes me a righteous man.
A righteous man has God for a best friend.
