A Cry For Help

Save me, Lord Cast me not away from thy presence Take not thy holy spirit from me Let me not perish or become fragments of sand That is washed away by violent storms or the ignorance of men Open my lips and my mouth That I may praise thee for thou art the God of my strength Rebuke me not in thine anger and chase me not in wrath Be not silent, be not visible nor hide thy self from thee Have mercy upon me for I am weak Heal me for my bones are vexed My heart is broken and I no longer have any worth I am weary and I am consumed by my grief Forgive my actions and deliver my soul Hear my cry, Lord Hear me when I call Have mercy upon me.

Patricia - You know hon I am and ex-meth cook and a ex-con but what I really am is a true living example of how loving and beautiful the Lord Jesus Christ truly is - i was in a Prison Gang and serving time in the hole - 2 year SHU to be exact when I prayed to the Lord that I was so angry with over watching my mother drown at the age of 4 and in the wink of an eye he transformed me from a very violent Prison gang member into a poet - If he saved me he will save anyone - God Bless, MJ
