Lord, I gotta be honest with these words

Sometimes Your gospel seems so absurd

Unheard of the way that You wash me clean

Why God, why God? A sinner like me

Every time I know I repent and I am clean

Every time I'm hypnotized by another screen

I know Lord, I fall down, You pick me up

An endless cycle, beautiful how You never give up

Yet Lord, my faith is weak, I'm a worm

The vision of my sinfulness makes me squirm

I know, I know of Your love

I felt it before, Your presence from above

Yet it's so hard for me to just let go

I let my face cover everything they don't know

It just clenches my mind, all the pictures from my past

Yet Your grace, it washes me clean when I ask

Lord, forgive me

In Jesus's name I pray, amen

You say that You listen to prayers from all Your sons

Even though we often take advantage of Your love

Please take me to a place of deeper understanding

Lord, don't abandon Your sheep, I will be stranded

I wanna know Your heart, I want You to be my standard

Help me to love my brothers without being demanding

My heart's feeling calloused, I am thrown off balance

By those who mess with my equilibrium with their malice

Father fill me up with Your compassion for the masses

It's obvious I need a new prescription for my glasses

On the daily, it's crucial that You renew my mind

'Cause I review my crimes that You put on Jesus Christ

I wanna treat all my sisters with utter righteousness

But it's so hard when they throw on that skimpy little dress

Elohim, please give me a deeper measure of wisdom

I gotta keep my focus on Your cross and Your kingdom

Father, revive my heart

I desperately need You

In Jesus's name I pray, amen

Father, I yearn for close encounters with You

You know where You brought me from and what I've been through

Lord, these acts of sin try and penetrate my skin

But I thank You for Your protection against all of them

But hold on, my struggles lately have been driving me crazy

All these theological concepts, the doctrines of men

Studies of Your word, so many views causing the separation

Called denominations, and it's really tearing me up within

'Cause I can't call it, what's the real truth when You're speaking?

Every pastor sounds so convincing, my brain is leaking

I feel like one being caught up in the ways of doctrine

Swaying side to side, getting lost in, feeling like an imbecile

Lord, I wanna press into You, reveal a deeper measure of truth

Holy Spirit, minister to my heart and plant the righteous fruit

Teach me like You taught the disciples

I desire to grow in Your truth and

Not by some man's study of the Bible

Yes Lord, I just reach out to You and depend upon You

To show me Your truth, Lord

That I won't be so dependent upon what other men say

Please guide me, Father, that I may know Your word

For how it should be known, according to You

I pray in Jesus's name, amen

Rejoice in the Lord always

I will say it again, rejoice

Let your gentleness be evident to all

The Lord is near

Do not be anxious about anything

But in everything, by prayer and petition

With thanksgiving, present your requests to God

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding

Will guard your hearts and your minds

In Christ Jesus

Amen
