A CHILD'S PRAYER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "lord, teach a little child to pray" Last Line: To serve thee while I live Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
Lord, teach a little child to pray, And oh, accept my prayer; Thou canst hear all the words I say, For Thou art everywhere. A little sparrow cannot fall Unnoticed, Lord, by Thee; And though I am so young and small Thou dost take care of me. Teach me to do whate'er is right. And when I sin, forgive; And make it still my chief delight, To serve Thee while I live. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
