My Prayers

My prayers

Jesus, my Lord and my Salvation,
To You I may come no matter what situation,
With open arms and a place for me,
You re-open my eyes so I again can see.

Show me, what do You want with my life?
Where’s my place? My job? What about wife?
I can’t go on like this any longer,
I’m growing weaker, not any stronger.

Lord, the future is yet so unknown,
But I know, I’ve just an adult grown,
In a moment I’m out in the world,
And through dangers and temptations hurl.

It feels so good for me to know,
That in You my soul and spirit may grow,
And that when I call You listen to my voice,
To my prayers, my sorrows, my rejoice.

Lord, lead me and show me how,
How to use my time on earth right now,
I need You, I know that myself,
Even during times, I aside You on a shelf.

Power, strength and direction me You’ve given,
When I for the wrong goals have striven,
Sorry that I haven’t been grateful to thank,
Only to realise it when I nearly to bottom sank.

Please, never leave me without guide,
At times when I through deserts ride,
A rough journey is and futures my life,
But I know You’re around, to protect like a knife.

Life on earth feels so long,
But I know that I’m totally wrong,
For You it’s a light breeze going by,
And suddenly I’m with You in the heavenly sky.
