My Prayer

I Can't Do It By Myself

MY PRAYER

Lord, I came to you just a moment ago
I told you something I Wanted to do.
I told you that if I was able to
It would be because of You.

I just wanted to write something down
There was something I needed to say
And I knew if it was to come out
It would be because of You.

What I had wanted to say
Words written in a special way.
To the one special to me, now and always
It would be because of You.

If these words, though in my thought,
And heart, come not out as they ought
The words, I LOVE YOU,
It wouldn't be because of You.

Day by day, my love
Through thick and thin, my "Hon"
It is to you I should give of myself
It would be because of you.

(Lord, this is what you would want of me
Just as you gave yourself for me.)
So Hon, my Love, I give you myself
It would be because of Him.
