Oh, yes, I want to do it right
at the right time,
in the right way,
saying the right words
to the right person.
Oh, yes, I know I need help
because, lookin’ back later,
sometimes
what seems to be right at the time
is not always perfectly right.
Oh, dear Father in Heaven
forgive my mistakes,
fix my thinkin’ and sayin’ and doin’
so it pleases You
and can bless others, too.
