I pray to thee upon this night
in hopes that you may set me right.
The crimes I've done are in the past
and with your help will be the last.
I'm doing time for these you see.
I feel your ways will be the key.
Your guiding light will get me through,
and help me with the things I do.
I know this time is for the best
and someday soon will come to rest.
Your ways have guided me this far
I hope and pray they will not scar.
I thank thee for the things you've done
your hands, your light, your guiding sun.
All the things you've done oh lord,
I'll keep I'll cherish. they'll always be stored.
