A Prayer for Truth

I thought I'd never find you

But sooner than I thought

I found you; yes, you're mine now

Lord, don't let me ***** this up.

 

An angel sent from heaven

You have your flaws, it's true

But you're mine, flaws and all now;

Lord, help me to deserve you.

 

You care for me unyeildingly

You thank me every day

For the ways I show I care for you;

Lord, please help me through.

 

You see me in a brighter light

Than most of the people I know

You care for me, left and right;

Lord, thank you for this glow.

 

If ever I could thank you

For all you've done for me,

I'd do it in a hearbeat;

Lord, it's only been a week!

 

You tell me you admire me,

But I don't know if you should.

My flaws far outweigh yours;

Lord, help me to be good.

 

I don't deserve a man like you;

I shouldn't even try

The Lord has blessed me immensely;

Lord, I'll thank you with my life.

 

You're my bulwark, my fortress;

You're steady, strong, and true.

Good to the core, you are;

Lord, help me care for you.

 

I feel like a hoax, a fake--

A liar to the core.

I don't deserve to be with you;

Lord, help me to be true.

 

I don't know what to do now;

Soon, this glow will fade

And you'll be dating a hoax, a fake.

Lord, purify my charade.
