MY LITTLE PRAYER

IT'S NOW AGAIN THE MORNING
AND MY PRAYERS ARE BEING SAID
IT'S BETTER 'CAUSE I'M WIDE AWAKE
NOT HALF ASLEEP IN BED

MY PRAYERS ARE LONG, THEY MUST INCLUDE
EVERY HURT AND STRIFE
THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY CARRY
DOWN THIS ROAD WE ALL CALL LIFE

AFTER THANKS AND ADORATION
AND CONFESSING ALL MY SINS
AND ASKING GOD'S FORGIVENESS
FOR ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN

I SAY A SPECIAL LITTLE PRAYER
TO HIM WHO'LL ALWAYS BE
SO CLOSE A FRIEND I'LL EVER WANT
MY WEAKNESS HE WILL SEE

"WRAP TIGHT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME LORD
ALL DAY IF YOU PLEASE"
AND IF I MUST CRY OUT TODAY
I'LL NEED ONLY TO SAY "SQUEEZE"
