Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense.
Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence.
Put here to stop free choice by man,
To keep him from becoming all that he can.
To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams.
To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams.
Today, though they’ve been torn to their foundation,
They, once again, become a free people nation.
They now have hopes and dreams, both the young and old.
Thanks to many that died and many that were bold.
The challenges will be hard, but their hearts are filled,
With a burning desire, their lives to rebuild.
I'm a young widowed man
And I ain't got no open plans
To remarry
Ahh! yes I am lonely, BUT I'm NOT ALONE
But God has me
God loves me
This handles the spiritual and natural
And yes, this flesh still desirers
Ahh! but the heart wants what the heart wants
If she's out there for me
God has her on His knee
Ahh! yes I am lonely, BUT I'm NOT ALONE
But God has me
God loves me
Ahh! but the heart wants what the heart wants
Now don't git me wrong I'm no Denzel or Shamar
Just trying to be one of God just man
I'm a young widowed man
And I ain't got no open plans
To remarry
Ahh! yes I am lonely, BUT I'm NOT ALONE
But God has me
God loves me
Ahh! but the heart wants what the heart wants
And it's okay for God knows the desire of our hearts
And if I do or don't, If someone wants me or won't
It'll be okay still shall be a victory till dead do us part
This handles the spiritual and natural
Ahh! but the heart wants what the heart wants

Make Me into Something Better
By Karen Fitzpatrick
Lord you’re so understanding, faithful and sure
Make me into something better
You know my thoughts
You hear my cries
My heart desirers to know you
To be more like you
Lord help me to trust you
To hold on to your strength
Lord see me through the bad times
And whatever suffering may come my way
To know that your strength is enough
To see me through wholeheartedly
Lord guide me and give me wisdom
As I walk this earth
Lord help me to become a reflection of you
And your kindness
Help me to know I’m not alone
Your presence is always with me
Lord my God
Lead me on the path to you
Merciful God
Show me a love much deeper
Than I thought I could ever know
Make me into something better
An image of you
