I fall upon my knees before my alter to pray to our Lord Jesus Christ As I close my eyes, my mind goes blank What do I pray for? I know I must praise him and all his glories, his forgiving ways I know I should pray to be more like him But I cannot To pray to be more like Him, I have lost that want What do I pray for? I know that I am in need But will He even now hear since my belief wanes so? Do I dare be selfish? Do I pray for me? Do I pray for my own redemption? Though people say my soul is pure I know how my soul is tarnished, unclean Especially since all I can think are selfish thoughts, and prayers only for me What do I pray for? Do I even dare?
