Evening Prayer

In thumbing through a song book I found a song I remember well.  However, it has not surfaced my mind in quite some time.  I was taken back to the days of radio when the station closed off at midnight at the latest, and some am stations even closed down at sundown.  Or that was the case of the ones I listened to.

Television stations closed down at midnight with the sounds of The national Anthem.  The American flag waving in the distance. I'm probably dating myself seeing that even TV stations telecast 24 hours without a break.  If there are any radio stations that actually stop broadcasting at sundown, they are AM stations and at that few and far between.

Anyway, I remember hearing the deep voice of Jimmy Dean, as he prayerfully sang this song at the close of the day.  With the hope you will enjoy it  and might like to adopt it for your "evening prayer"  I'm glad to share it with you.

If I have wounded any soul today

If I have caused one foot to go astray

If I have walked in my own will today

Dear Lord Forgive.

If I have uttered idle words today

If I have turned aside from want or pain

Les I offend some other through the strain

Dear Lord Forgive.

If I have been perverse, or hard or cold

If I have longed for shelter in the fold

When thou has given me some fort to hold

Dear Lord Forgive.

Forgive the sins I have confessed to thee

Forgive the secret sins I do not see

O guide me, love me and my keeper be

Dear Lord Forgive!

Nothing else need be said other than "Amen"

Yours For Christ
