Let Us Pray

Pain and misery.  These two things, I clearly see

I live thru these, each and every day

But oh how I wish, I could live another way

I’ve tried to be happy, I’ve tried to be glad

But always something happens, and I end up really sad

So now I’ve come to hate, those and them I should love

But the hate I have for them, is purely out of love

Because to hurt those you love, would be a terrible shame

And if I died now, they’d have me to blame

         

          “He was sick.  He was crazy.

          He was angry.  He was mean.

          And this was the only way

          He let himself be seen

 

          Because to show his love

          Would open him to hurt

          So why let it get started

          Let us now cover him with dirt

 

          Emotions were a side of him

          He wouldn’t let anyone know

          The hate and anger built inside of him

          And he wouldn’t let them go

 

          Cause if you can not love

          Then you can not hate

          And if you refuse to be happy

          Then you can not be sad

          And by holding these emotions in

          It slowly made him mad.”

 

 

    “Let us Pray”

 

“Oh Lord, if you’re really there

Take this man in

And shower him with care

Cause his life here on earth

Was filled with hate and sin

But we ask of your forgiveness

Won’t you please take him in

Show him there

The love he missed

Show him there

The roses he should have kissed

Show him there

The morning light

Show him there

The beauty of the stars at night

Take him from his birth

At a glance

To the day of his death

When he gave up on a chance

Cause thru his anger

He did hide

But maybe you

Can now break inside.”

 

          “AMEN”
