A Silent Prayer
I bend my head,
I close my eyes,
My palms facing the sky,
My heart clenched to the very bottom,
And my soul crying a helpless cry
He, the forgiver
Me, the sinner
—ashamed of all my sins
I moan a deep sigh;
And then I beg,
"Don't forgive me. Oh God.
For I have done such a deed,
My goods don't weigh enough,
And hell is to where I shall lead;
All my life, I lied;
Never did I thank Thee,
Instead I lived with useless pride,
And completely forgot Thee,
And so, now I shall not plead;
For a place I don't deserve,
Yes, I am the sinner ashamed of my deed,
But to die with Thy unforgiving; I would never grieve,"
With this I stood up
