I wrote this after looking at a collection of modern day prayers
I couldn't find much quality in what I got to read, so I thought I'd contribute.
The music quickly followed
I'm very haüüy with it. It's a prayer, set to music (not quite hymnal though)
I can't wait to have it finished.
protect us from what we want
my hands are up for action
these feet for cut and run
no answers for the asking
I've never been so young
♤
you should seek shelter
call up your loved ones
collect what is of value
I've seen the coming storm
it will take some courage
to face what we've become
Oh lord, protect us from what we want
Oh Lord, protect us from what we want
freely you give your heart
to a stranger be kind
and unbroken in the fold
you need not lose your mind
♧
no gain can be claimed
there at the finish line
surely, it's a crying shame
when love is left behind
we'll keep it together
for we are to see the dawn
Oh Lord, protect us from what we want
Oh Lord, protect us from what we want
embrace the naked flame
in this we are reborn
Oh Lord, protect us from what we want
___________
Rightly
