Lord, God, Please

God, please help cleanse my soul To last while I grow old I yearn deeply to feel whole To serve your kingdom is the goal Lord, please save my spirit Please cleanse my conscience to hear it Your presence, I can feel it Growing from my bosom, it heals it Lord, please heal my broken heart And aid in warding Evil off the chart Temptation creeps in when life gets hard But struggle solidifies Your guidance to hearken You raise me up During ups and when it gets rough You elevate my spirit to ascend up My hunger for Divine Wisdom is not enough In my soul, lingers an ache Stemming a pain I can't wake When will it break? I pray the Lord my troubles to take Amen.
