PRAY ABOUT ME

            Many times as I kneeled down to pray            
            It seemed I always took the “get” way
            To pray for others is really the key
            Yet so often it seems I pray about me 

            One day I found the greatest calm
            As I read from the book of Psalms           
            T’was quite a shock for me to see
            David also prayed about “Me” 

            Deliver, defend, and lead me he’d say
            Purge me, wash, and teach me your ways            
            Judge me, show me, answer me this day
            Vindicate me, give and guide me always 

            Preserve me, prove me set me free
            Keep me, make me, save me is the key
            Help me, hear me and hide me he’d sigh
            Remember me, rescue me was his cry              

            Strengthen me, search me when I am low
            Examine  me and make me white as snow
            Revive me, redeem me he’d always pray
            Consider me, and restore me everyday 

            Cleanse me,  uphold me if you might
            Try me, visit me, set my life right
            Right from the heart David did pray
            Examples show at least three a day 

            With attitudes as these listed above
            It’s no wonder David had God’s love
            And now I know when I bow on my knee
            That it’s not wrong to pray about me
