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
