This morning I woke up with you on my heart
My Lenten journey didn’t begin with such a great start
My prayers they were lacking, and my spirit felt low
Our present condition caused me to forget what I know
That even though our world is threatened with war and disease
Your loving presence puts me at ease
Thank you for loving us no matter the situation
No matter our problems or our current temptation
Be with us through these hard fought days and nights
As we try to turn away from our wrongs and keep you in our sight
Help us dear Lord not only to give up our luxuries
But bless us with a true conversion of heart
as we seek you to live more faithfully
And as we trek through our own wilderness these forty days
I pray that we all may become more like you in all of our ways
