A Backslider's Prayer

I need a glimpse of light Lord
In this weary dying soul
I can no longer feel you
Or that I'm truly whole

My burdens are so heavy
My pathway's rough and steep
Let me see the light Lord
To know I'm still your sheep

You are the Rock of Ages
You are the Great I AM
Just send the Blessing Please Lord
To show me where I stand

I know I've always been the best
Of your children this I know
But you are my help and refuge
The Savior of my soul

On bended knees I beg you
Restore this saddened one
I'll strive to do Thy will Lord
Until this life here is done

Then the tiny peaceful light
Makes its way into my soul
And it keeps getting brighter
As it cleansed this weary soul

Now it's shining like a beacon
To a ship that's lost from shore
I feel your blessed peace Lord
My soul's not lost no more

Oh Praise the name of Jesus
The Father and the Son
And of the Holy Spirit
To all the Three in One

The peace that flows from Heaven
Now is flowing through my veins
I am standing on shouting ground
My Lord and Savior reigns

A Backsliders Prayer

I must tell all my neighbors
My friends and family
How Jesus has restored me
And made my heart so free

He will not forsake me
A promise He has made
It was I that done the straying
But in chastisement I paid

O I feel just like a millionaire
Though with earthy goods I'm poor
But I am rich in Jesus' love
Who could ask for more?
