NO BODY by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoenwaOgbu)

Daily reminds mind what is pertinent
I come before Thee not to be silent ,
Oh Lord, My Father
Please hold  me, that we may live ever together,
Even when I may offend Thee, claiming the world is noisy 
Or forget Thee, pretending to be too busy,
Or think I am strong, when life decides to smile gently 
Or feel to be the best, because nothing seems ugly, 
Or give no gratitude, thinking I can do all alone 
Or remain snubbish, thinking flesh will ever stay with  bone,
Or justifying myself  worthy of every grace 
Without knowing, Thou ever keep feet  firm on a race.
Oh Merciful Father, please forgive every bad attitude 
For clearly  I have known with certitude,
That no body but Thee, is my true Helper 
Who bless and ever stand to make heart God's true Worshiper.
