Father, please forgive me,
for the error of my ways;
if I fall off the path,
correct my steps...today.
Let me walk in grace,
with Your love within;
take away the lust of flesh,
and keep me from all sin.
Give me understanding,
and the strength to fight;
keep me safe from harm,
and the evil of the night.
Let Your light shine through me,
in the presence of the day;
rid me of the false desire,
that holds one in its sway.
Father, keep me well and strong,
with the armor of Your being;
banish my infirmities,
and send the devil fleeing.
David Lessard
