Analysis of My Soul
tyrone peck 1963 (Kerrville Tex)
Dear God, open the eyes of my soul,
So that I may see whom you wish me to be.
Also open the ears of my heart,
So that I may hear your words for eternity.
Send down your rains, to cleanse me thru and thru.
So that my mind, body, and spirit will always be anew.
Help me to be a bold student in your teacher's school
So that I may be a lenient man, and give good rule.
