Dear Lord

Dear Lord thank You for the blessing of another day
Thank you for giving ear to my words as I pray
You have always been my life’s guiding light
Like a parent You were there teaching me wrong from right
I always searched for love from the people around me and I always came up empty handed
You were always there besides me when loved ones left me stranded
When those around me left me out to dry
There You were comforting me as I would sit on my bed and cry
Dear Lord You are the best thing that ever happened to me
I know that our relationship is meant to be
Without you I know that all hope would be lost and I would have nowhere to turn
You taught me that some things in life I have to let go and just let them burn
Dear Lord You taught me how to love and You taught me how to live
Dear Lord I’m begging You to teach me how to forgive..
In Jesus’ name..Amen
