A Selfish Sinner's Prayer

[Mark A Becker]

A Selfish Sinner's Prayer

If you make it in to Heaven please try to save a place,
take along my picture so the Lord'll know my face,
please try to make my good side show,
if you make it in to Heaven when you go.  

If you make it in to Heaven, tell Jesus I'm OK
tell him I don't mean half the things I say,
if you see the Lord; if you get the chance,
please ask for some forgiveness, in advance,

I would be so happy if you wouldn't mind.
Yes, I would be so happy if you would be so kind.
Bless you, my friend, if you tell the Lord I tried,  
then I'll thank you very much, when I reach the other side.

... amen
