A Prayer For Help

Jesus, 

I'm lonely and dejected 
No longer able to cope 
Broken plans and shattered dreams 
I'm at the end of my rope 

I sometimes feel unworthy 
to even cry out to you 
So many mistakes I've made 
and I know not what to do 

But if you feel there's some hope 
for an old sinner like me 
Then please forgive all my sins 
and don't withhold your mercy 

I long for that special day 
I can look upon your face 
experience your sweet love 
with a never ending grace 

Yes Jesus I have decided 
I can't make it on my own 
Pick me up and dust me off 
So I'll never be alone
