God, when I am lonely
And perhaps I feel despair,
Let not my ailing heart forget
That You hear every prayer.

Remind me that no matter what
I do or fail to do,
There still is hope for me
So long as I have faith in You.

Let not my eyes be blinded
By some folly I commit,
But help me to regret my wrong
And make amends for it.

Inspire me to put my fears
Upon a hidden shelf,
And in the future try not to
Feel sorry for myself.

Give me the restful sleep I need
Before another dawn,
And bless me in the morning
With the courage to go on!
