Dead to Sin Prayer

My prayer is to be dead, today, from sin
  which threatens from within.
May I walk with Christ
  and not, by sin, be enticed.
May my actions, today, please you my Christ.
  Because of me, you were sacrificed.
I was saved and made dead to sin;
  from the old life I lived in.
Now Christ lives within.
May I please you my Christ
  whose love for me should be sufficed.
Because of me you were sacrificed.
  May my sins not make your death cheaply priced.
                                     Amen

This Land's A Mess

My prayer today:


Lord,

This is your land.
It's a mess because of man.
You blessed us with a land of beauty.
You set upon man upkeep duty.
You commissioned man to share your redemptive story.
But, in our lives, we failed to show your glory.
All is corrupt;
Evil seeks to erupt.
But Lord, this land is still your land.
I call on you to heal the souls of man.
Help your people, in your name, to take a stand.
This land's a mess.
But Lord, please, America bless.
Heal, Oh Lord, our soul;
Make us complete in you and whole.
