Mean to Pray

God, when I pray, You know I really mean it,
You know before what I am going to say,
You read my heart before I can convene it,
You see inside I mean the things I pray.

Your knowing of my prayer sustains my hope,
You know that I will pray and where and when,
You know Your answer that will help me cope,
as well You know the sins and souls of men.

You would not let me waste my time in prayer,
unless You knew what will be my reward,
my prayer is my assurance of Your care,
my smallest prayer is infinite to You, Lord.

I trust my prayers, Lord, help me get to heaven,
for any flaw in prayer is soon forgiven.
