He Washed My Hands

He washed my hands, to all that I have done, and cleansed my soul by the love of 
just one. I have walked a mile in another man’s shoes.
And felt the sorrow in a man who sings the blues. I have lost my way a time or 
two, but found it back thanks to you. The prayers you answered, I did not see for 
pride and ignorance blinded me.
I prayed for my father, and age fifteen he came for me. But I was mad and have 
felt so alone I couldn’t say I love you, to late now he’s already gone. On his death 
bed I tried to hold his hand and say the things I should’ve said. It was only his 
nerves the doctors say
He did not mean to snatch away. But Lord, please tell me why does this haunt 
me today? Why did I not see, before it was too late? I will not give up, I will not 
loose faith. But right now you must know I am so afraid tonight, tomorrow, and 
even today. I know you are there and I will always pray. I trust your guidance will 
not lead me a stray, that your words will give me faith. And the strength I need for 
another day.

Finding My Way

I am here today,but I am not sure why.
I have resented, and nearly given up on life.
I have asked the Lord to take me, and end all,
this pain. But I am still here.. my life still the same.

I try so hard to be a good man. And do for 
others the best that i can, but life is hard,
i've tried so hard to understand.. why life is cruel
to the better of man. But I geuss these are trials,
the trials of an honest man. The winding,bumpy road that leads 
to the Promise land.

So maybe.. I have found my way, and I will follow this road to
my very last day, so when that day comes I can turn and say.
I done the best I could... EVERY SINGLE DAY!
