I Tried

Born ashamed and raised in doubt Life unleashed and let fear out I tried to tuck it underneath I stood up, against my grief With all of my might I fought the fight A lot of time, spent on my knees Crying, confessing, begging, please Help me, Lord, to find my way Let me thrive on this next day Change me Lord, I know you can Instead of crawling, help me stand I see the blessings, he bestows My faith, a door, I will not close But hope for a life, more than a chore Has disappeared. It exists no more
