Hear my prayers my God on High,
Take me away beyond the skies.
Let me see your magnificent face,
Take me away from sins and disgrace.
Hear me my God when I call,
Grab me like an eagle when I fall.
You are the breath of the placid wind,
You are my love breathing in my mind.
Extend my days on earth to do Thy Will,
Teach me to love as you watch me still.
Hear my prayers when my heart bleeds,
For the poor and destitute to help in need.
Bless me to help those who are in sorrow,
Wipe away their tears as I pray for
A glorious tomorrow.
Invade me like the sea waves in my soul,
Teach me to love you in the heat and cold.
Hear my prayers for every race and nation,
Save their souls by your love and salvation.
