I pray to you at night

Asking for forgiveness

That you will somehow make things right,

Forgive me for my blindness.

That somehow I will forget what I have done

Or perhaps teach others a lesson,

That life at any minute can come undone

But secretly could be a blessing.

Oh so many times I have marked my body,

No good came out of that

But now I am able to help somebody,

Somewhere, help them win an inner combat.

I am not perfect, that I know

So I pray for help this very time

To learn more as I grow

To be strong as I climb.

I ask for forgiveness for my past sins

And for what I may do in the future

Please don’t let the darkness win again

Things have been such a blur.

I need guidance to carry on tonight

I need a light to shine

To end this fright

For happiness to be mine.

But most of all as I kneel on my knees

I beg you to help others

Before you help me.
