My friend, I have written to you today,
to request that for my dark soul you pray,
That God would show me the righteous way,
to help my friends and to know what to say,
when Satan's temptation leads me astray,
and condemns my soul and makes it grey

  I do deserve to be unforgiven,
But our God wants us with Him in heaven,
with more power than number seven
God's given me the bread without leaven,
the countenance of the martyr Stephen,
that we can praise him, now forgiven  

  I'm not deserving, in all that I do,
in my case this is especially true,
my one God will always see me through,
though in my haste to mankind's morbid view,
I nearly lost sight of the God in you,
So I ask you to pray for me, too.

  I am leaning now towards temptation,
but prayer can save from condemnation,
I beg you make your dedication
Giving me strength and sanctification
and blessings to all within our nation,
That we may all live in salvation  

  In conclusion, I ask you now to pray,
That my beloved God, my strength, will stay
and that He will keep me from the fray,
that I may live with Holy God one day,
My Lord and Savior, and my friend, Yahweh,
Pray, I ask this of you here today.
