a prayer

my lord see the damage and the pain
see the flames in between the rain
show mercy and grab hold
of each soul that controls his own
and if ever thee is weak, lift them up
show them the way and don’t give them up
a slow burn is a scar earned
and these heart beats are what I call home
breath my air, show me light
control my fears, hold my life
never see the blind, always see the lies
always remind me twice to read in between the lines
I am yours, forgive my sins
that rise without reason that are committed within
I am, so be it, in your hands
forever faithful, always a man, amen
