Jeff's Prayer
I used to think that being strong meant doing it on your own
If you needed someone you were weak and destined to be alone
I realize now that I need your help so that I can stand up tall
And even though I ask for your help you’ll still love me through it all
Dear Father I kneel and ask you to be with me day and night
To guide me as I spread your word and be a beacon for your light
To show the world that you are here to help us through it all
And you’ll be there to pick us up no matter how many times we fall
I hear you voice inside my heart telling me that I am strong
I no longer need to carry these burdens for I am not alone
All I need to do is ask my God and you’ll be by my side
You’ll take my hand and walk me through the hard times in my life
And when the joys abundant you’ll be there to rejoice with me
I’ll praise you and adore you for you love me unconditionally
You know my faith may waiver because sometimes I can’t see the light
And though my heart is weak you’ll give me strength to always fight
I know I’m not yet worthy to see the glory of your face
Or know the feeling of your arms in your safe and warm embrace
But when that day does come I will bow my head and cry
Because you’ve chosen me to be forever at your side
