My Continual Prayer
Psalm 141/1 Thessalonians 5.17
“The Christian life is not divided or compartmentalized but united and continual!”
I call on Thee, O Lord make haste to me. Give ear to my voice.
I call on Thee, O Lord give ear to my voice, when I call on Thee.
CHORUS:
This is my prayer, continually.
I know You care, You care for me.
This is my prayer, continually.
O give me life abundantly.
Let my prayer be counted, let it be counted before You.
My evil deeds have mounted, I fail at everything that I do.
Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord keep my evil lips sealed.
Take away my evil desires, O Lord I really wanna be healed.
(CHORUS)
Let a good man show me the way. Let him rebuke me in love.
Help me turn the evil one away, this is my plea to God above.
Lord, when I fall, lift me up. Don’t let me lie there in sin.
Lord, hear my call, O fill my cup. Abide with my soul again.
(CHORUS)
My feeble eyes look to the Lord, in You I seek my peace.
Don’t leave me Lord without a sword. This human life needs Your release.
Keep me from the trap which Satan laid for me, keep me from his snares.
Let the wicked fall down on their knees. O Lord, hear my prayers!
(CHORUS)
