My Prayer

Lord, no matter how old I get

Please keep my spirit young;

Lord, no matter how weak my hands

Just let my faith be strong.

Then, when feeble are my knees

Let me still kneel in prayer,

And though I am forgetful,

Remember you are there.

Lord, no matter how dim my eyes

Let others’ needs I see;

And, Lord, no matter how long I live,

Let me still live for Thee.
