THE PLEA
The nights are lonely, sitting here all alone……
Wishing one day to have someone to hold……
I was up late last night, I got on my knees and challenged GOD to a fight………..
I screamed, yet no one heard me....I cried, yet no one saw my
tears…………….
Then I asked the Lord to open his ears…………
Do you know my pain? Do you see me cry?
Why do you make me live when I ask to die?
Take me Lord, don’t leave me here………
To live without love, that’s my only fear………….
I did it all right………….
The way I was taught, I read your book and never fought……………..
I said my prayers every night, “Dear Lord Change My Life”
I’ve never enjoyed warm arms clenched around me…………….
I’ve never had a shoulder to lean on…………….
Lord takes away the pain………..
I’ll do anything just keep it away…………
I hurt with it, I can’t take no more………
Don’t lock me away………
Don’t shut the door……………….
Let me see the light……………..
Take away this night…………..
Help me hide the darkness in my soul……………..
Before this rage takes its toll..........
Help me Lord, I’m begging please…………….
You’re the only one who will listen to me………..
