Bless me Lord – show me the way
Bless me Lord – to live another day
Bless me Lord – keep my family safe
Bless me Lord – put my heart in the right place.

Dear Lord

help me find what I’m seeking for

that’s more

than what I have

and a much smoother path

to go down

I know now

that you can

make me a better man

if I don’t refuse your hand

and stop frontin’ on your plan

and follow your guidance

the temptations of this land

are stronger than an alliance of giants

Some people are acting like tyrants

glorifying violence

and the good is getting silenced

Help me your highness

Evil is taking over

you did alot already

by helping me get sober

I still got things on my shoulders

that I need to get off

like all of these thoughts

of committing crimes

because spitting rhymes

ain’t paying

but I’m staying

faithful to you

I’m grateful for you

because I’m still here

I feel there’s no better way

and you don’t want me to fear

because better days are near

    The Lord will Bless you Shawn just continue to stay in the light and away from the darkness.

    I agree with Chantell. You have already been blessed. You acknowledge that God helped you get sober – many people feel like they do these things of their own power. Being grateful for that blessing opens the windows for you to receive more.
