Do You Hear Me Pray?
Lord, You have already died for me and paid for my sins
How could I ask for you for more than that?
Yes Lord, til the world comes to an end
And back to where we first began
Send me whispers Lord and if I don't hear
Shout at me and I'll know I must fear
I'll heed your beckoning and call until...
And abandon what I am doing against your will
Help me get back on the right track
Fill me with all I lack
I'll never think of straying away....
Do you ever hear me pray
God, I have much leisure time and I need a chore
To know you are with me and at my door
Why do people want to be
Spiteful, untruthful and slough off on me
Please continue to use me as you wish
Am waiting now for a new list
Times...I can hardly make it through a day
Without getting tired and weary
Please give me strength and courage to carry
on your plans and not let me stray
Cause I won't quit til all is done
and you are finished with me
How can I keep going, trying to live for you
And my body gets attacked with sickness
That makes me want to say adieu
My life is off a schedule but there is a reason why
I am so weak sometimes and don't
Want others to hear my cry
I will bear the pain and suffer as you did til the day I die
