On my knees I ask you Lord
to guide me through this day
To help me find the beauty
in your gardens `long the way
With folded hands I ask you
to light my path that’s shaded
To give me understanding
before it all has faded
Creator of the universe
and all things on this earth
You’ have given me, my free will
and gave to me, my worth
I pray to grow in faith and love
before my life is through
So I can be the best I can
giving all myself to you
In every book I’ve ever read
one page stands out from the rest
Let me be that single page
and put my faith to test
With folded hands on bended knee
as tears stream down my face
I thank you for my "everything’s"
and for loving me with grace
Author notes
Psalms 139-23-24(NKJV) Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
