This Is Why I Pray

This is why I pray To the Lord God Almighty; It's because of His command That I call upon Him faithfully. Not only weak but also frail I am, Vulnerable to pain and sorrow; But because of fervent prayer, I won't wane but glow and grow. Life is fraught not only by trial But also by temptation; With my plea begging for mercy, God will hear my supplication. I have sinned against the Lord, Though it's not what I want to do; Through the intercession of His Son, I'm forgiven by the Father, so true. How can I make both ends meet? How can I have all that I need? The loving Father is the sole provider, My cry for help He'll surely heed. Sickness spares no one, Even the doctor gets ill; The Lord is the perfect physician, No disease He cannot heal. For all the blessings He bestowed on me, So much thanks I have to say; In His holy temple He waits for me, This is why I pray.
