Father, please forgive me, <br />for the error of my ways; <br />if I fall off the path, <br />correct my steps...today. <br /> <br />Let me walk in grace, <br />with Your love within; <br />take away the lust of flesh, <br />and keep me from all sin. <br /> <br />Give me understanding, <br />and the strength to fight; <br />keep me safe from harm, <br />and the evil of the night. <br /> <br />Let Your light shine through me, <br />in the presence of the day; <br />rid me of the false desire, <br />that holds one in its sway. <br /> <br />Father, keep me well and strong, <br />with the armor of Your being; <br />banish my infirmities, <br />and send the devil fleeing.<br /><br />David Lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-to-the-father-2/
