Oh Lord

Everyday i spend
Praying down on my knees
Oh help me sister
I beg ya please

[chorus]
Oh lord help me to see
Oh lord put your love in me

One day i'll wake up
And realize the lies
Then lord if you help me
I'll see with your eyes

[chorus]

Everywhere i look
And everywhere i go
We need you now lord
More than i ever could know

[chorus]
I go to the church
And i hear your words
Now lord listen
As i sing the unheard

[chorus]

As i look out my window
And i walk down the street
I see more corruption
Than there ever should be

[chorus]

A child smiles
And the sun starts to shine
And finally i see
That you are not just mine

[chorus]x2

    Well this is a Christian thing so ya but your right. Maybe this is partof why I turned from your god(this one not really sure what you are) but Its good. You can't fix it all and you have to look forthe good because it is in everything its just sometimes easier to see the bad.

    i believe there is something higher than us out there, but i don't like giving it a name, or worshipping it. i was in South Dakota when i wrote this, in a neighborhood of Marten. what i saw there hurt so badly that i had to do something, however small it may have been. thank you for your kind words, i appreciate it.

    Interesting. Not truly christian as you seem worried it may be taken as but it does show a sense of longing. A longing that someone out there can help and path things together and fix this broken world. Good write
