My Prayer

O' Lord,
Give me just this mourning light,
That I may see to read by,
Give me just this sorry life,
That I,m allowed to be by,
Give me just this lonely soul,
My only way to leave by,

O' Lord,
Just give me peace,
That I may never need these,
Burdens here to keep me,
Hold me down and beat me,
Misuse, abuse, mistreat me,
To hurt me more than need be,

O' Lord,

Please leave me,
So that, your greatest enemy,
Can no longer deceive me,
And I am left alone,
That I may only be me.
