Dear God

Please dear God
I really need You in my life
I need You by my side
To end all of this strife.
I found me a job
One that I can do
And they want me to work
It’s one of the very few
But now I have a dark cloud
That is hanging over my head
My past is here to haunt me
it’s something I do dread
You know in Your heart
I am one of Your good sheep
And You know my heart
my love always runs deep.
But I lied to the man
And told him I’ve been good
If I had told him the truth
He might have gotten rude.
So I’m asking for Your help
I need it real bad
Make my past go away
I’m tired of being so sad.
This way I can live again
The way I am suppose to live
Where I no longer take
Where I can honestly give.
I’ve never needed You more
As I need You at this point of my life
I want and need this job so bad
I need away from all this strife.
There’s not too many years left
I’m beginning to get old
I don’t want my last years to go by
Being bitter and being cold.
I don’t know what else to say
You know where I do stand
I’ll now leave it up to You
I leave it in Your hands.
