Supplication

Oh lord, I am so pained and so heartbroken,

So shattered and so small,

Could you please hand me a ray of hope

So that I may stand tall?

I know I've not been infallible 

But will you please forgive me for all my digresses

And for all the times you've made me see

That I'm nothing without your grace?

Please, Oh lord, grant me love

Because that's the greatest boon you have given me,

This heart that feels,

These knees that kneel

In supplication to you.

Please dear God give me faith,

Give me the power of belief,

Give me the courage and the strength to break free

And the energy to run after all I seek.

Please, Oh lord, let me leave behind all the naysayers

By the wayside;

Let them lie, Oh dear lord, with their scathing words

And heal these wounds made so deep.

Please, Oh dear lord, give me friends who love me for who I am,

And believers who believe in me and show it in every way.

Please, Oh dear lord, the other day I asked you for a sign,

And you bequeathed me with pain

And I must think that's your infinite grace

And your immense blessings on me;

So I thank you dear lord

For answering my prayer.

Give me more signs, will you?

Let the path ahead become easier and clearer,

I surrender all to you and in you I reside.
