"MY PRAYER" BY OLETA JONES - TAKEN FROM "GOSPEL MINUTES"

                                                MY PRAYER

                                   Give me strength from day to day,

                                     'To walk the straight and narrow way.

                                    Help us when to thee we pray,

                                      To give our thanks for thy dear son.

                                    And as he prayed thy will be done,

                                      Forgive our sins and guide our sight.

                                    Keep us in thy holy light.

                                      May we keep ourselves aright..

                                    And lead some others from their plight.

                                      Now Father thou knowest all

                                    Help us stand when we would fall.

                                      Let us hear thy tender call,

                                    Come my children thou art small.

                                       Rest thy head upon my breast,

                                    Thou so weary and distressed.

                                        Fear and trouble soon will pass,

                                     All our thanks to thee we give,

                                        While upon this earth we live.

                                     Thou hast made our hearts to sing,

                                         Thou who givest everything.

                                     May our lives to others bring,

                                        Glad tidings like a bell that rings.

 May all of us be more dedicated to prayer to God.
