Father in Heaven

Father who art in heaven

Please here this tiny plea

To count me in Your book of life

Despite my pride and vanity

Hallowed be Thy Name, Lord

Your will be done not mine

Remind me of this humble truth

Time after time after time

 

Give us this day – You give so much

Yet so much more I doubt

Content in all these blessings

I forget what You’re about

Forgive me more than I can count

Myself to do the same

For I’ve broken Your heart

And played a part

In mankind’s greatest shame

 

Oh guide me when I’m tempted

My body always strays

In every part that makes me

In need of Your help always

 

Save my soul from death dear Lord

I’m open with confession

I’ll risk it all to make so sure

My self is Your possession

 

And all the glory goes to You

The help to which I must lean

For who else would take this sorry load

And wash this prisoner clean?
