A Prayer of Sorrow

when your spirit is gone and strength i lack when thoughts and deeds the devil reflect when sorry is fake and prayers, they cease your words remind me you've got my back. when i don't deserve it, mercy you show when i don't want it your guidance is there when i surrender to your omnipitence the truth washes over me, 'cause you always know. when fear of man overtakes me when i turn away from all your teachings when satan beats me for a while because of you, these things won't break me. when i am nothing but lower than low when my fear was misplaced for so long when being with you intimately is all i need but i don't even know how to repentance show. how i wish you'd hear my prayer though i don't deserve your ear how late is to late to justify wrongs? i pray for a sign to know you're still there. take me back under your wing teach me to walk, 'cause i can't alone save me, help me, show me the way please, please, mercy bring!
