Prayer For This Day Poem by david lessard

This day is yours my Lord,
As each one of them are,
You watch the world revolve,
know the names of every star.

I lift my praises up to you,
I sing my hymns to you;
I worship at your altar,
and drink of heavens brew.

I watch the sunrise and I see you,
I hear the music of your songs;
I pray that you hear mine,
and forgive me of my wrongs.

We're a little less than angels,
And perfect we'll never be;
But we strive to meet your goals,
Limited only but what we see.

Your truth is strong and mighty,
Your word, perfect and alive;
We ask you for your blessings,
As toward your gates we strive.

Walk with me this day, Lord,
Keep me safe from harms;
Then let me sleep securely,
In the shelter of your arms.
