Dear God

This morning I woke up early,
And I had a hot caffeine brew,
And though I felt somewhat surly,
I wanted to spend time with thee.

I know at times I'm just lazy,	
And I tend to leave you at home,
While my faith is a bit hazy.	
And my thoughts tend to stray and roam.

I just want to let you know Lord.
I really want to be good.
But it's hard to live in accord.
And do all the things that I should.

Lord can you guide my every thought.
Shape my words to reflect your grace.
So I'll do the things that I ought.
And lead me to your sacred space.

So now I'll say my soft amen.
As I head out into the world.	
To live a life that's born again.
May my flag of faith be unfurled.

So the unsaved may learn your gift.
A love that reaches out to all.
To save their sad souls set adrift.
To any who will heed your call.
