Dear Lord:
I am your child, I stand not alone
against this world on my way home.
I walk in darkness to find the light.
I pray for strength when I must fight.
Against all odds and with empty hands.
I pray for courage and take my stand,
to be the best that I can be
Lord open mine eyes so I might see.
Give me a portion of thy perfect grace.
so this world of hatred, again I can face.
Shield my heart and protect my soul,
so within their depths Satan has no hold.
Against my spirit demon wage their war
they change me into something that I abhor.
Deliver me when my strength is gone
from fighting these battles that rage too long.
