God Prays for Me

God prays for me, He prays to me for me,
He prays by prayer He can my prayer inspire;
though He decrees for me to be still free,
He prays that I attend to His desire.

God's prayer includes appealing to my mind,
His prayer reminds me of our common goal,
He tests my body too when I'm too blind,
He preys upon my conscience and my soul.

God never quits or lets up on His prayer,
He constantly bombards me on my way,
He offers me eternity to share,
and lovingly begs me at least to pray.

O God, my answer is I'm praying too,
I pray the grace to pray for me to You.
