Analysis of Hear My Plea
My dear Lord, hear my plea
Show me where you want me to be
Help me to hear directions from you
Help me to do what you want me to do
Help me to learn what you want me to know
Guide & direct me where you want me to go
Help me to be an example to others
Bless me with love for my sisters & brothers
Then dear Lord, give a special blessing to all
So we can return to thee and not fall
Keep us all safe in thy loving care
Help that thy love to each other we share
Help keep Satan away from our minds
Help us to see his ways are unkind
Help keep Satan out of our hearts
Help on his road we do not start
Stay in our hearts, our minds and our souls
Help us to always fulfill thy goals
