Sinners Prayer

“A Sinners Prayer”
Lord, it’s me, as torn as I am
Asking you for another chance, Everyday I’ve committed sins daily 
And you’ve forgiven me, how can I repay thee?
I’m nowhere, Perfect or righteous 
I am a sinner; I want you to lead the way  
Lord I’m a beginner 
That will someday 
Come out as a winner, I fall short and you pick me up
Regardless of any given situation, you don’t require accreditation  
Lord, I come to you, asking what I can do 
To draw myself closer to you, how can I make it?
Without full understanding, how can I make it?
When life is so demanding, Lord sometimes I feel like the root of a flower 
Sometimes seems like my darkest hours, you still somehow find the light 
To let me know I’m precious in your sight
Lord I fail you daily, and you forgive, So that I can live 
And I’m humble, so with my praise I can’t mumble, I have to shout
I don’t know look like what I’ve been through, Lord hear me out
Thank you Jesus for dying me and paying the price, Mo one else would give that big of a sacrifice 
You see my outside but judge me from the inner, this a simple prayer, Coming from a sinner
