Next month will mark
Three years in this position.
For nearly 1,095 prayers
I’ve uttered my petition.
Tonight I offer another plea
And mention each by name
Because I know all the girls are loved
By Thee just the same.
For the girls
That refuse to meet me
I hope they are
Safe, warm, and happy.
But, if by chance,
Life is cold and bleak,
Remind them
To join us this coming week.
For the girls
I’ve met but don’t always show
Please guide them
Until they know
To don their armor
Wherever they may be
Because I know the gospel
Will bless them abundantly.
And for the girls
I see twice a week
I pray that they
Continually seek.
Help them remember
Who they are
Remind them of their talents
They will go so very far.
I know I’m not perfect,
My many faults I am aware of.
Don’t let me block the way
Of any girl reaching Thy love.
I close my prayer,
With humble appreciation
For the chance I get to serve
In such a worthwhile obligation.
