From the recording Nine Prayers of the Soul

Lyrics

All is Success: Prayer of the Three
©Drexel Rayford, Vagrants Chapel Music, 2023

I’m praying, dear God,
You are my maker;
I get this shot to win one for you.
There’s so much that’s left,
To do for You.
I share your goals - let’s carry it through!

When I don’t succeed I feel so bad.
It sickens my soul,
When I’m not on top.
I’ll do anything to capture the prize.
I’ll try any trick, I’ll wear any façade,
And I’ll play the part!

Running toward the future just as fast as I can!
The lies that are my life have gotten way out of hand!
If I were just a loser, would you still love me, God?
“Was Mary a loser
when she had her child?
Was Jesus a loser when he hung on and died?”

I could make it through life
Just on this image,
But you placed your will deep in my soul.
Your hope and your truth,
Take even my failures . . .
All is success when you make me whole!
Make me whole!

Oh! Oh! All is success All is success
All is success
When you make me whole.
