A Father’s Prayer

O Lord

I hum­bly come to You

With this my ear­nest plea:

Lord

help me to be­come the man

That You would have me be.

Purge me from sin

cleanse me with­in;

And fill my life with You

O Lord

Your love and pow’r to know.

Help me each day

along life’s way

To keep You first in all I do

And by Your grace

to grow.

O God

my Fa­ther

full of love

Your grace abounds to me.

Lord

through my life may You alone

Be all my children see.

Purge us from sin

cleanse us with­in;

And fill our lives with You

O Lord

Your love and pow’r to know.

Help us each day

along life’s way

To keep You first in all we do

And by Your grace

to grow.

And Lord

when all our days are done

When life on earth is through

We then will know life’s great­est joy:

Eternal life with You.

There we shall sing

loud an­thems ring;

And as we ga­ther ’round Your throne

We’ll praise our Lord and King:

Thanks be to God! Praise Him alone!

But un­til then

O Lord

we pray

To You the lost we’ll bring.
