Dear God of love, I pray for one
Who realizes I
Cannot undo what I have done
No matter how I try.
The past is such a hurtful thing:
Too late to change that deed.
Dear God, please let Your mercy bring
To me Your ways. You lead
My future days! Please shape for me,
A path that's safe and sure.
My deeds will then a prayer be
For one You'll make secure.
