A prayer and cry out to God |
I will stand and shout to the Lord I will cast upon him my thoughts and ideas I will cry out my struggles and pains And I will stand and wait and wait for the enemy surrounds me with temptations The sweet palpable taste of sin ever inviting A hunger stirs up inside me Freedom Glorious freedom to eat of the fruits To deceive those who walk alongside me To stray again from the path Down a wicked, twisting road Into darkness Where the light becomes ever distant And I watch from afar as the things which are ever out of my reach, Are cast into the arms of the ones I love The ones who keep to the path of wonder and excitement And I become eager and anxious My treasures burn and decay The possessions which once sparkled and shined Now mere stains upon my soul And so I stand in His house With arms wide open I weep over my past transgressions My prayers echoing upon the alter Ringing in my ears I know it’s not for nothing I know that he hears me and holds me So I will stand and wait And wait For I am His And I retain knowledge of the paths I once walked So I wait and pray Not for myself nor my worldly desires May those be ever out of my reach I pray for someone like myself to step into this house of worship That I may be a beacon of light That I might rescue them from the path of deceit For I know the way is dark and turning back is not an option I will guide them I pray to be a pillar of smoke to help the lost find their way May I be a Moses to this broken generation. |
