A PRAYER FROM DEATH-ROW by Pas­tor Kevin Burns

O LORD GOD,
even The GOD and FATHER of our LORD and SAV­IOR JESUS, The CHRIST LORD GOD, You are HOLY and RIGHT­EOUS;
GRA­CIOUS and alto­geth­er TRUE.
YOUR Mer­cies are ever­last­ing, and they are renewed every morn­ing.
O LORD GOD,
unto THEE do I lift up my Soul.
And unto THEE do I cry in despair.
Have mer­cy on me LORD, I pray, and deliv­er me.
Deliv­er me from those who are too Strong for me:
And deliv­er me from cer­tain death.
YOU said in YOUR WORD, that YOU looked down from the height of YOUR Sanc­tu­ary; From Heav­en YOU beheld the earth; To hear the groan­ing of the pris­on­ers;
To loose those that are appoint­ed to death.
Behold, I am in prison, and they have appoint­ed my soul for death.
But unto YOU, O LORD my GOD, do I make my appeal.
For YOU are that GOD that took me from my Mother’s bosom, and declared YOUR Love for me, and made YOUR covenant with me, and told me that YOU will nev­er leave me nor for­sake me.
But that YOU will be with me always, even until the end of the World:
And caused me to hope in YOU.
And now, O LORD my GOD, in THEE do I put my Trust.
Let me not be brought to shame.
Nei­ther let any that Trust in YOUR HOLY NAME be brought to shame.
But bring me out of this prison swift­ly, I pray;
And deliv­er me by a strong HAND, O LOVER of my soul.
In the NAME of JESUS, I pray AMEN, and AMEN!
