Mend Me

 Oh, friend of mine
I am doing quite fine
I am sorry for being a burden
I am aware that I am still hurting

Fall into my arms 
Give me your charms
Betrayal beats me to the finish line
Yet, I remain to be feeling pretty fine

Eventually, pure happiness will give us freedom…what have we become?
Hopefully sooner or later, we will be in Your miraculously blessed Kingdom

Infinitesimal, igniting illumination 
Will be my grand, ultimate destination
I loved you and will always do so in an intimately gracious heartbeat
My brain runs marathons while fatigue trickles down my wearisome feet

I got caught up in the heat of the moment
I got caught up in freezing fire and lament
Kiss me and hold me tight till I can’t anymore to the deep core
Restore me to who I used to be – a carefree boy all the more

What’s happening to me? 
Am I drunk off of gladness that’s temporary?
Lord, was it all meant to be?
Am I losing hope? Did doubt turn to misery?

I am still a believer
I dismissed the deceiver

I won't be left unsure, for His Word is my cure
Being keen and somewhat curious made me endure
Through the tough times I had in the dark and dreary past
The future has more to come – will the daily struggles last?

I tried to eat away my shady sorrow
I want to look forward to tomorrow
I am ashamed of being a naïve, worthless human being compared to a million men
I should have known better not to make the same mistakes over and over again

Let's all be joyous please
I am praying on bent knees
I am apologetic and regretful
Isn’t living this life so wonderful?

These scars I bear today make me beautiful…
The tears I shed are more than a handful
But, Father of truth, I will still be grateful

For healing me and saving me…I should have been more faithful towards You; now, I am delightful with all my might 
And I want to smile away the dismay day and night, and also fight for peace to caress all of me and make me feel alright

I am handsome in my pained, messed-up brain 
Emotionally and mentally drained, but spiritually sane
The sins I committed has been driving me nearly insane

I am recovering and I am glad I feel awesome 
I am so sorry for being absolutely bothersome

I am doing well in my cold, harsh cell
How I would frankly feel later on, hon – 
Time and the Lord will positively tell 
Waiting for bliss after I walk with the sun

I am feeling rather fine and dandy
Still, I wish I was completely free 
Oh, beloved friend of mine
I am doing better than fine

I am praying on bent knees
Isn't easy and exciting to simply fall apart?
I think about you everyday, so please
Understand that I need a repair on my heart

God can fix what is broken
God can give us bravery and strength,
Even with words unspoken
Will He abolish my awfully hideous angst?

Mend me…
