"A Simple Way to Pray"

Above the earth exalted high,
tis the blessed place You reside.
Hallowed be thy name, O Lord,
deep within my heart adored.

Let thy Kingdom hasten this day,
drawing those who have gone astray.
Your will be done on earth below,
making us clean, yes, white as snow.

Resting in You each day that is given.
Nourish my soul; refine my vision.
Our daily bread comes forth from You.
You are true Life, yes, and true Food!

As You have forgiven so shall we too,
Your mercies each morning, ready and new.
You the Judge have stayed Your hand,
since Christ fulfilled the laws demand.

Away from temptation lead us, O God,
keeping our eyes off the way which is broad.
Save us from affliction, preserve our souls,
and with our lips Your name we extol!

Your kingdom on high; O City to come,
the light of our eyes; the Eternal Son.
All power, all glory, forever ascribed.
To You, Our Refuge, who shall soon arrive.
