A goodnight prayer.my bones are aching
shoulders slouched
my eyes exhausted
stars in the clouds
but here i am
ready for you
time for a battle
you'll pull me through
enlarge my tent
make it yours
i lift my eyes
your hope in sight
cast out the demons
lurking within
make me yours
i've never been mine
my prayer oh lord
i hope
simple and pure
take all of me
plus my hopes and my dreams
if i must go blind
let it be
if i must be lame
i shall be
all i ask is
take all of me
lord if you're willing,
more of you
and no more me.
