We Pray When Forgiven

I thank my God, given to us with grace,
Our hearts softened as we discuss our plight.
Removed guilt, now no more in madness' sight.
Change our ways, forgiven of sins' dark trace.

Never let our swords stain in wrath again,
But will give our own lives, amen, in peace.
Feel peace when guards of joy and hope decrease?
Can you be happy when life's hard, my friend?

Shake off old habits, start a life anew,
Live with integrity when falsehoods reign.
Sing praise, give thanks, let joy dispel the pain.
Yes, you can call the heavenly source true.

For He is my light, my joy, my employ,
In His embrace, my life finds fullest joy.

Prayer of the forgiven

I thank my God, given to us 
Our hearts softened and we discuss
Change our ways, forgiven of bad.
removed guilt, and now nor more mad.
Never let our swords stain again,
but will give our own lives, amen.

Daily Struggles 

Can you be happy when life's hard?
Feel peace when there is no guard.
Shake off old habits and start a new.
Live with integrity when others aren't true.

Yes you can, call the heavenly source.
Sing Praise, Give Thanks, for he's that force.
For he is my light and my joy.
Allows my life to fulfil my employ.
