Let Jesus In

Do you know how it feels not wanting to go on?
For emotional destruction made it hard to move on
So much pain that there's no happiness
Physical and internal tears descends because of what's happening
An insensitive heart and a soul that's so weak 
My vision so blurred that my path I couldn't see
No mother, no father, no food, and no heat
As an adolescent this was the hand that was dealt to me
Lord I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for me
For you hugged my spirit before it chose defeat
For the tears I shed now I want the world to see
So they can know the love you put inside of me
Because of you Lord my existence has glory
For you made me appreciate my past, because it's only a chapter to my story
Lord I surrender so do as you will
Lord, influence every heart so they feel as I feel
For every trail and lesson, It's a blessing on the way
So when you hear Jesus knocking don't just invite him in, let him STAY
