My Prayer Number 15

Dear Lord, I’ve lost control I let the wheel go Now I’m headed for a crash and burn I don’t know where to turn When will I ever learn Always walking in a line of sin I can’t help it I know I’ll keep walking it again and again I’m easily tempted by things of this world And you know all the wrong I’ve done So many wrongs I speak them to no one I’m uneasy father and un-rested Tell me how long will I be tested And when I’m through will I pass I can hear the devil laugh He knows I won’t last I’m afraid it might true That’s why once again I kneel before you This time I really don’t know what to do I know I’ll continue to sin And I know you’ll continue to forgive Too many times I’ve been forgiven Father I don’t deserve to be liven Especially if I’m not living according to you I try to fight my temptations And trying to do good I loose my concentration So I end up walking into new tribulations I know I won’t do what is always right The guilt eats at me when I sleep at night But I try father the best I can So I humble myself and tell you yes I am a weak man I’m not whole without you by my side I can’t fight the devil alone I know I tried I should of never back slid the first time Forgive me and don’t forsake me And I will always praise thee I know your there through everything Your love is so amazing Watch over me Amen -bkmjr 2007-
