Please, Dear God

Please, Dear God

I sit here in my lonely home, I lie here in my lonely bed.
What seems almost a million thoughts, rollin'
'round inside my head.
Sometimes it almost seems to me, there's nothing to live for.
In the constant, predictable, every day,
I pray that there is more.
More good times to come my way-- in this I MUST believe.
Please, Dear God, oh please I pray, to this is what I cleave.
Please give me more of happiness,
carefree days and peaceful nights.
Don't let me fall into despair, help me to see what's right.
There are many things I need to do, to get where I need to be.
The hardest part of all of this, is just dropping to my knee.
Praying and asking for forgiveness should be so very easy.
Thinking of the wrongs I've done,
I know they wouldn't please thee.
I know that when we pray to God our sins are wiped away.
Then why is it so hard for me to get down, kneel and pray?
Please, Dear God, I beg you now, for help to get me through this.
I know on You I can depend, You sealed it with a kiss!
