A Prayer

Artwork by Ernio Hernandez

When I was lost in the dark
And nothing was left in sight
You came, my father
And led me, to the light

When I was drowning in sorrow
And nothing was left to cheer
When I hoped for tomorrow
Your boat was there, standing near

For you’ve rescued me, O Father
And you have given me life.
Help me help another,
To support them in their strife.

Let me wish good for all , my father.
Even to those who wish me ill.
Hold my hand , lest I falter
In everything I do, let me do your will.
