Prayer for My Soul

Prayer for my soul.


Oh, my soul, be mindful of what is good.
Smart about what isn't.


Vigilante for opportunities to do good.
And prepared to stand against what isn't.


To cry out from the mountain top: God is still God.
And to know that such a God has been killed by us.


How many times?
Hard to say.


Oh, my soul, don't kill God with hopelessness.
Let God live by keeping watch in the Garden.


By not falling asleep.
Oh, my soul, be mindful.


Walk with God to the place of trial.
Don't deny knowing God.


Walk the streets with God.
To the place called Skull.


In God's agony, a terrible reminder.
Of worldly powers to kill.


Oh, my soul, be alert.
Oh, my soul, be ready.


Don't forget to sing.
And don't forget to love the flowers.


Oh, my soul.
