The Plea

Dear Lord please take me and do what you will
release me from sin and this burning hell.
My life is so precious, but I can't find my way
please help me stand straight and live a better day.
My heart is so empty, and my mind is so dim
I've strayed from your path and let the devil come in.
He has taken by body and is burning my soul
so ashamed of myself that he's taken control.
I've tried and I've tried but he will not release  
am I weak is he strong will I ever find peace.
So, Lord, I give you my heart to do what you will
please release me from sin and this burning hell.
