Hear Me Lord

Oh hearken to me lord! 
I grow tired and weary 
I can carry my battles no more 
I am no holy man 
No saint that I can bear this with fortitude 
I seek no fortune from you 
Nor does the love of this world tempt me 
I long for how things used to be 
My knees grazed by my lost supplications 
I weep only for my wasted days
