TO THE UNSEEN GOD

Cover me with your grace 
And shelter this ole retched soul
Lead me by the still waters 
And make me whole 

Forgive the darkness of my thoughts 
Where evil hibernates and prevails 
Wash me in your cleansing blood 
Remove all gilt and stains 

Teach me to love my fellow man 
Even those that hate the color of my skin 
Without your guidance and protection 
My labor would be in vain 

I live in a land corrupt 
And the people is such as I
A world where wickedness rules
And evil, is the light of man's eyes.
