A 17th Century Prayer

Submitted by Sister Mildred M.


Give me a good digestion, Yah
And also something to digest
Give me a healthy body, Yah
With strength to keep it at its best.

Give me a healthy mind, dear Yah
A mind with vision bright
That, seeing sin, is not appalled
But seeks a way to set it right.

Give me a sense of humor, Yah
Give me the grace to see a joke
To get some happiness of life
And pass it on to other folk.
