The Prayer IV

Let us pray

Father God, I am just learning how to pray, bear with me

First I thank You for the life of everyone that's here with me

Then I thank You for the love You give me, why?

I don't know; I don't deserve it, and it hurts inside

Many a nights I cried, and called Your name out loud

But didn't call You when I was doin' good... too proud

And still You gave me love, I wasn't used to that

Most of the people that gave me love, they ended up takin' it back

That's somethin' new to me, so I'm askin' You for time to adjust

Let me make it there, I will be one You can trust

What I stand for, I put my life on, I do!

I guess what I'm askin' is: show me how to stand for You

And I will rap for You, sing for You, preach for You, teach for You, reach for You

I will love You like You love me: unconditionally

And I will always be prepared for whatever the mission'll be

Give the nutrition to me, and I'll properly digest it

And when I give it back, I'll show You word well invested

And whenever I go, before I go, let me give

Thanks to You, Lord, for my birth, for every day that I've lived

You gave me a love most of my life I didn't know was there

In the name of Jesus! I give you my life, 'cause You cared

Amen
