Dear God

Dear God
I feel depressed 
Each day I wake up is filled with stress
Grant me divine strength to press
Onto the upward range
New heights,  I want to gain
I know my soul is stained
My deeds caused this pain
Hear my cry 
Accept my plea
Keep my cheeks dry
And let me flee
From the path that makes me sin
Be my shepherd, for I am your sheep
Feed me your word to keep me in shape
Guide my steps wherever I lay my feet 
The back and forth movement through the thorns  
May cause erosion to the spirit in me
On each account, cleanse and stitch my wounds 
To keep my faith alive.
