For My Father Up Above
For my father up above
This goes out to you
I continue to sin
With actions I have no desire to do
I know I can be stronger
But situations make me weak
As much as I ask for your guidance
I know The ability is only in me
Forgive me for all that I am
Forgive me for all that I don’t do
To take the actions that are needed
To fulfill what I feel I lose
I seek for forgiveness
In things I can control
How can I be so stubborn
If it’s something I already know
I am not myself
I keep saying everyday
But is that the truth
Or do i lie to myself so that I’m not ashamed
I should appreciate more
For those who support me
But I’m blinded by my desires
What is there I do not see
Don’t be angry with my sins
Only you know my heart
Happiness is just not there
I feel torn apart
I ask what I should do
But I know the answer is hidden
I just don’t know where to look
Even in the scripts I keep reading
Even though I surrender to you
I can only walk as I know
Don’t quit on me my loving father
My faith is all I have to show
