Lord my saviour
Feeling such despair, falling, weakened.
Landing on knees hands together,
To God I pray, crying out.
“Dear Lord I feel alone,
please restore my faith”.
If I stand tall,
will you walk
with me
now?

I am glad it spoke volumes to you Aunty Jack's, it will be edited cause I am an idiot who has again in the last line and again has 2 syllable, I'm only supposed to have one
