· Hi God
Hi God, it’s me
One of your many children
A lost sheep
Looking for guidance
So I turn to you
My father
My best friend
To help me
Guide me through
I won’t ask you
Anything for me
Instead I pray for others
Help the world
Become a better place
Teach people to love each other
Show the child
Of a broken home
That crime is not the way
Tell the mother
Who can’t feed her child
Tomorrow will be a bright day
Give the children
Something to live for
In a world where they can feel safe
If you do nothing more for me God;
All I ask is…
You hear my neighbor
When she kneels to pray.
