A letter to my father
Dear Lord in heaven
Thank you for the skies you've made
So bright and blue and sunny
Thank you for the rainy days
When winds of power sweep o'r me
Thank you for the good times, God,
And thank you for the bad
To understand your happiness
I must Contemplate sad
I ask you for your mercy
To keep me humble, low
But when you do as I have asked
I take it as a blow
You always have been with me
I know you'll never leave
And day by day you teach me
Your blessings to receive
I never could repay you
All the grace that I've been given
You died me for me and now I see
In return I give you sin
So before I ask a favor
I'll thank you one more time
For always granting mercy
When I commit a crime
And now at last we come
One portion I request
To bring me to your Haven
And Grant me eternal rest
The only thing I want
Is not upon this world
But dancing in the wind above
Between the clouds unfurled
I already know your answer
And surely I'll know more
When you grant me freedom
Upon the golden shore
Just as I am without one plea but that they blood was shed for me and that thou bidst me come to the, oh Lamb of God, I come, I come
