'This I Pray' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

I pray dear Lord you will help me to do thy bless-ed will
Therefore in doing so within my heart your loving
Presence you will instill....

Look upon my heart and cleanse me
So unto thee a better servant I might be....

Bring gladness in the place of my tears
Bring courage in the place of my fears....

Open these eyes and renewed hope let me see
As I press onward in this life
And focused upon thee let me forever be...

Your time of a second coming is in the air
And Lord I want to spend eternity with you
When you call me up there....
Above all past trials and tribulations
As I see all that is revealed of the Revalations...

I will lift my voice and unto thy ears thy praises sing
Praying it will bring thee great joy my king
I want to praise you oh God forever in eternity
As daily I worship you and praises unto you
Knelt down before you I bring...
