Analysis of Heavenly Father
Heavenly Father, please hear my prayer,
From the depths of my soul, to you my creator,
Guide me so that I don't fall,
Off the path of righteousness, whenever you call.
Heavenly Father, please do not depart,
From my seeking soul who has opened his heart,
To receive your warm love, spirit and truth,
And to walk in the ways as a God fearing troop.
Give me endurance Father, so I can walk on,
Through day, weeks, years and the great tribulation,
For I will wait patiently for you everyday,
In the knowledge of knowing there's no other way.
Grant me Father, so that I may learn,
The fate of my life, I do so much yearn,
For your wisdom and understanding,
I know I am demanding, but,
I am your son, seeking everlasting life,
From you Father, through my Lord Jesus Christ.
