I Prayed

This depression, got me down;
Seems like no one cares, no ones around;

Feeling, sad and so blue;
Seems like, I don't have you;

Lord, I don't have, have you;

I prayed
just prayed
and still
have no way to show for what you have said
so over and over again. . . I pray

I just found out;
I began having doubts;

My mind it's clout? ? ?
What am I doing that's. . . .

what's wrong with you God
Do you hear me calling you, Lord;
What am I to do OH!!  so I repent of myself, and just held myself and I, I, just...

I prayed
just prayed
and still
have no way to show for what you have said, what you do or did;
so over and over again. . . I just prayed

All I ever needed is a forgiving someone;
And a love of mine own;
so I stop sheading these tears I'm crying;
Need to stand up and be a Godly man(woman);

so I prayed
just prayed
and still prayed forever and a day
Lord, God I'll let you have your way in my life come here do what you do what's may cause all I want to do is just
Pray

And I fell on my knees;
 And cried out to the Lord please;
Please save me, save me, save me;

so I prayed
just prayed
and still good God almighty I am entitled to pray and stay in the will of His and be one of many child's so I fall on my knees over and o'ver agin and just 
Pray

I close my eyes with a sincere heart;
myself bleeds and I stay in His presents;
He embraces me caress me forgiving me He engulfs me in His agape love;

and I prayed
and I prayed
and I prayed and asked for forgiveness
each and every second, minute, hour, morning, noon, night, (always)


and I prayed
just prayed
and I prayed
for the answers
and I prayed for blessings;
and I prayed for longevity;
and I prayed to be with Him, forever in Heaven;
and I prayed for you;
will you pray for me to;
May God bless those that read these words;
so I prayed
for your life
and I prayed
that everything will be alright
and I prayed
for all mankind
and when things get you down
and no one seems to care
just go inside your closet and stay..
just pray
this I pray
and I prayed
