Please bear with me Father as I am just learning to pray out
loud
I figured this was the best way to say a prayer to a crowd
I have always prayed silent like others much too proud
Too proud to praise in the name of Jesus out loud
Please bring us back home Father
Instill in us the word which is our backbone
Because in this time of spiritual warfare
We're comfortable in the middle
Others on their own
For 35 years I was lost
Did not realize depression I was running in the dark
You showed me the light rising behind the cross
As you took my life away I screamed and I cried but
I understand you were showing me why
Carrying me to the way
Now I thank you Lord for my life today
And I will pray for tomorrow
Through the bad times as well as the good
Help me be heard and understood
I ask you to judge us all by our hearts
And not by our mistakes
See that we get a breakthrough
However long it takes
You teach us to Honor our Father and Mother
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
You teach women to respect their men
And men to love their women
But so many of us have gone astray
Doing wrong for so long that we've forgotten the way
I know I do not always do the right thing and I ask you to
forgive me
Help us see that violence is not the remedy
And as you want us to do pray for our enemies
So I pray that you open our eyes
Give us the anointment to recognize
The Devil and his lies
I pray that you allow our spirits to be born
Grow strong, move on know right from wrong
Continue to praise, pray, show full faith for faith replaces
fear
And when there is bad weather, we know your love is here
forever
Because there is something better after here and not
everyone will go
So I ask you to forgive them, just like me and hope they
will see
For me as long as I can, as long as you permit me
Please give me the strength I need to be
Continue to bear with me and thank you for letting me see
The love you have for me
AMEN
