A Dying Man's Prayer

"Only drowning men can see Him" I'm here today not because I slipped But because I decided I wanted to see you To tell you how I've slipped from glory This is a call for help so that I can come back to you I've been walking in darkness But my eyes haven't lost the light That's why I keep going knowing That there's light at the end of it all I'm here today, sinking in the chaos I created For I stayed far away from the word Now I've forgotten to say a prayer Could you pray for me or with me For I'm feeling my soul slowly letting go An inner peace that's lonely Coz I know I've fallen off into the cycle Been going in circles instead of walking to you I'm here today not because I don't believe But because I keep doubting if it will come to be Coz I've been praying till my lips fell silent My weak spirit wavered & I slept through the blessing Show me the way to you today And I'll swim right across Cause if I do nothing I'll drown My soul is already soaking wet from regret The PO£T
