Not Perfect

NOT PERFECT God, my life is an open book and you wrote it I am sticking to your script, sometimes am overly neurotic But I pray you give me a sign My ways are so dark, give me a sun I am too blind to read in between your lines Give me insight I need to discern between good and evil I need to love me as I do people I need to treat each as an equal I am not perfect I have sinned Been swayed by the things I have seen My eyes been accustomed to images so obscene My tongue has lashed torrents of unspeakable speech And sometimes drinking what I preach Sometimes ignoring what you teach I have broken your commandments and am now seeking for amendments My paradise has turned into a menace Full of people with no respectable manners I come to you with my head bowed I come to you and if allowed Let me serve you God Let me direct my effort for good Let me be thy servant for when I stray You will always take me by the hand and show me the way Let me see you when I pray Let me see a challenge when I fail Let me spring to my feet again when I fall God I am not perfect I have seen evil in the eyes of men I have erased hope in the eyes of many I have drove crazy the totally sane I have send the innocent from womb to tomb There's blood on my hands I need cleansing My body is your temple, I need fencing Like a prodigal son I need forgiving The world is falling apart and only you Only you can restore dignity in the lives of humanity Only you can save us Only you can save me I am not perfect
