My Prayer

Let me do good,
Help me be fair,
Have me give water,
Lead me in prayer.

Stay close beside me,
Throughout each day,
Guide me in walking,
Only Your way.

Hand me my orders,
Keep me alert,
Make me talk softly,
When others hurt.

Gently correct me,
As I make mistakes,
Let Satan not triumph,
If tempting awakes.

Give me some respite,
At close of each day,
And when life is over,
Bear me away.
