                              DEAR FATHER UP IN HEAVEN
                              PLEASE TAKE THIS PAIN AWAY,
                              THAT I MUST SUFFER DAILY,
                              HELP ME LORD I PRAY,
                                                    
 
                             I TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS LORD
                             AND ACCEPT WHAT IS TO BE,
                             BUT LORD I,M GROWING WEARY
                             AND THERES SOMETHING I CANT SEE.
 
                                                      
                            I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY SWEET JESUS
                            AND I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW,
                           THAT YOU LIVE DAILY IN MY HEART LORD
                           AND ALSO IN MY SOUL.
 
 
 
                          IF THIS CROSS IS FOR ME TO BARE
                          THEN I,LL DO IT LORD FOR YOU,
                          JUST TO PROVE TO OTHERS LORD
                          THAT YOU HAVE SUFFERED TO.
                                                    
 
                         OH THE PAIN YOU MUST HAVE BORE
                         WHEN THEY NAILED YOU TO THAT CROSS,
                         SO THE WORLD MIGHT BE FORGIVEN,
                         AND YOUR DEATH,WAS TO BE THE COST.
                                                      
 
                        PLEASE LORD IF IT BE THY WILL TONIGHT
