I kneel before God naked

In my mind and thoughts

The piercing gaze of my maker

Seeing my true self

Even though I try hard

To obey God’s commandments

I am humbled by forgiveness

For transgressions that I make

I pray for insightfulness

To make the world around me

Better for myself and others

For the strength to forgive

Those who have wronged me

And the goodness of heart

To spread kindness and charity to all

For we are all God’s children

Deserving of love and friendship

Created in God’s image

We are one
