My Prayer
Dee Daniels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me aware so that I may see
That I have the strength
To follow your lead
Through thick and thin
Right to the end
Father, if you give me wings to soar
Then I can help, do my share
Spread the word
Of how much you care
Oh Father, this is my prayer
With your spirit so near
You know the road ahead is clear
Yes I give myself to Thee
No other help I know
Father, I ask that you awake the potential in me
I ask that you make me aware, aware so that I may see
That you’ve given me evrything I need
To make it through the thick, through the thin
All the way Father, even to the end
I thank you Father, this is my prayer
Yes and Father, when my work on earth is done
And I must face, face the setting sun
May everyone know my anchor in love
Is not of man, but from God above
Through Him I find, peace of mind
Oh Father, this is my prayer
Father, Father, Father, Father, Father
