Forgive Me                                             I woke, dear Lord from restless sleep It was not night, nor was it day Then softly, I began to weep For I forgot to kneel and pray. My prayers are like an evening's calm When my daily tasks are done Like nature's ever soothing balm When my Lord and I are one. How could I forget my time with You Those moments that I treasure When You know my joy, or if I'm blue My prayers are Yours to measure. Forgive me Lord, if I forget To kneel at night to pray For I don't mean to leave You out Of my thoughts in any way. I feel forgiveness in my heart As I pray once more to Thee You know how I include You In each day You give to me. Tonight dear Lord, I won't forget From whom all blessings come And lead me into peaceful sleep When my prayers to Thee are done. © Dawn Stratton 1992
