If I Be Guilty
If I be guilty Lord
pluck me from earth
diluting the feuding that manifests hurt
Make mute my lips
that speak only lies
inviting, inciting another to cry
Lay silent my tongue
that instigates war
defacing, erasing this "double edged sword"
Shroud heavy these eyes
that see only sin
blurring the spurring of hatred within
Take hold of this heart
that dwells within me
reviewing, renewing my integrity
A humble demeanor
I ask you to give
reminding, re-finding my reason to live
