Lord and saviour.
For I have done things,
opposed to your favour.
But this you know,
and this you have seen.
So it is no secret,
My soul is unclean.
My heart is heavy, and burdens run deep.
It’s the struggle that tore me and made me so weak.
I thought the world had harmed me,
so I looked elsewhere.
I went searching for love,
but nothing was there.
So, I called on your name.
I did it in vain.
I strayed far from you
to escape worldly pain.
I turned to that man
thinking I had better.
I became a store
and he was my seller.
It started with kindness and a heart so pure.
He told me I had beauty when I was unsure.
He made me feel loved when I felt so hated.
Then, he said he would help me
and promised I’d make it.
I then turned from your grace toward something untrue.
And now, here I am, returning to you.
So, take me, my God!
This is my plead.
Wipe away unclean spirits, and you take the lead.
I will follow you wherever you go
Become my guide, and I will look towards no other.
For I’d rather have you than the love of a hustler.
