Prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, keep me today

Dear lord, help me in every way

Dear lord, set my path right

Dear lord, protect me with your sight

These are the prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, have mercy upon my soul

Dear lord, cleanse me and make me whole

Dear lord, shine forth your light

Dear lord, take control of my night

These are the prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, please guide my heart

Dear lord, masterpiece it like art

Dear lord, cover my eyes from wrong

Dear lord, build my will to be strong

These are the prayers of a female child.

Each time she kneels to pray

This routine she comes to say

A young girl with a love for God so wild

These are the prayers of this female child.
