Bottom of My Soul

A million dollars couldn't save my soul. My life is out of control. I'm searching for your healing, begging for salvation. Gathering up my rubble to build a new foundation. I have faith and I have strength but I still don't know if I have what it takes. I'm stumbling through life, constantly haunted by my past mistakes. My soul is a prisoner locked in an empty cage, often visitited by torment and rage. Lord I know you hear my cries, see the desperation in my eyes. The world has warped and transformed me into someone I don't recognize. So much hate and suffering all around, joy and peace are seldom found. I try to seek you everyday but somehow I'm always led astray. Take me as I am, help me to understand. Everything is possible through you I know, there's nothing I will face that I can't get through. When I'm deep in the darkness and I can't find the light, I need you to help me shine bright. I become overwhelmed with anger and fright. I feel so alone and often give in, to my shallow self that never can win. I make bad decisions and indulge in my sin. Take over my life and be my guide, I will no longer cower and hide. I'm asking you to lead the way, all my trust is in you. My heart is yours broken, scarred, and pure. I have a sickness only you can cure. I'm nothing without you, I haven't got a clue. I don't want a choice, you are my voice.
