Lyrics

Sinners prayer

Don’t mean to brag , Don’t mean to boast
bout who’s sinned least, or who’s sinned most
But
So far, I’ve not told ,any lies
And I, haven’t cussed or swore
But Lord, it’s time for me to rise
Now I’ll need thee, a whole lot more So I Pray- this day

*Now I raise me up from sleep
*Oh Lord, I pray my soul to keep
To a world of sin I do awake
For My soul, it strives to take
Forget me not Oh Lord . I pray
As I face the darkness of this day
Be with me I pray
Help me- to be , a better man,
Help me- stay on the narrow way
Help me - have faith , that I can
Help me- as I begin- this day ,I pray


*Thou hast guarded me all night
But it’s in the day when I must fight
The snare of sin surrounding me
Oh Lord I plead , please set me free.
$#$# And grant me strength to overcome
Through the TENDER mercy of -thy SON
Be with me , I pray
Help me to remember him
help me to break my chains---- this day
Help me to stay free from sin
Help me have peace again-, I pray, this day
* Father, help me choose the right
*That I’ll be pure within thy sight
*Please, fill my heart with thy love
*For all mankind and thee above
*If I should die, before this day, is done
*Lord I pray , my soul to thee, will come
Be with me this day

So far, I haven’t, judged anyone
A perfect day I’ve led
but Lord , this day, has just begun
Now I’m getting out of bed —So I Pray, this day

Now I raise me up from sleep
Lord ,I pray my soul to keep
