A Prayer for Mercy

Its yet a new day
And now its hard to pray
Lord i know I've gone astray
The wages of sin i cannot pay
In your presence please let me stay
So i can learn to do things your way
Obeying every word that you say
Not regarding anything, come what may
Then my sun will shine its ray
And no longer will i betray
Peace would then be mine when i lay

In YOU Lord may i be steadfast
So to myself i don't look like a cast
Forgive me the iniquities of my past
And in YOUR word may i become vast
So when the enemies come with a blast
I will no longer be the last

Lord i know you judge uprightly
By YOUR mercy forsake me not utterly
Teach me thy statutes continually
And turn me away from beholding vanity
With YOU let me have a natural affinity
So ill be with YOU in eternity

Help me not to choose the world's concept
By learning to imbibe your precepts
Even when am treated with utter contempt
Let your love be a shield
For me in life's battle-field
Cos in you alone my victory is sealed.
