I'm learning, Lord, please be patient
I know I have prayed countless times
For forgiveness and repentance
Yet I keep falling to my mind
Help me, Lord, to see that you
Are forever by my side
The journey through this darkest night
Begs that I pray for your Light
I know I fall short often, Lord
But love me anyway?
Don't ever give up on me
As I'm but a child led astray
Yes there is grey hair on my head
And lines upon my face that say
I should be older, wiser now
But I'm More of a child today
Life's hard lessons have worn down
The thickest walls around my heart
Bearing to this crueler world
I am but a babe at its start
So hold me up, tight, and so near
I cannot walk this world alone
Please help me take my first steps to
Sit beside you at your Throne
Yes my ego made me believe
I need nothing and no one
But I now know I was so wrong
And beg you not leave me alone
I admit I know nothing
Yet crave to Feel Your precious love
Please take my hand and walk me to
The God I was I was created of
I'll be Your pen, Your truest heart
I've given up on defining
Myself by lies of this world
It's in You I've found everything
Let me rest now for a while
Walk through my dreams of finding Thee
Still walking in glades of Eden
I'll join you in Eternity
Prepare for me a place at your feet
I give You me willingly
I've much to learn if I hope to
Be worthy of Your forgiving
