David's Prayer

David's Prayer
Make my bed
When the evening sun goes down
Give me food from Rachel’s ground
And let all life be followed as it should

Let me work
From the break of dawn till dusk
Give me strength to fill my task
And let all life be followed as it should

Guide my path
Run my bath
And give me love
I’m only a man on earth
And I need you

Give me faith
To lead an upright honest life
To sleep soundly through the night
And let all life be followed as it should

And may my children
And their childrens’ children live
Learn to take and learn to give
And let all life be followed as it should

Guide my path
Run my bath
And give me love
I’m only a man on earth
And I need you

Make my bed
When the evening sun goes down
Give me food from Rachel’s ground
And let all life be followed as it should

Let me work
From the break of dawn till dusk
Give me strength to fill my task
And let all life be followed as it should
