I am
a survivor.

Pray for me
in my hour.

God I need
a savior.

Someone to
restore me.

I am a sinner,
trying to change.

I need help,
I need prayers.

Need something
warm to guide me.

I have been
reckless.

I need hope
to restore me.

If today is
the beginning

or today is
the end of days,

I need hope
inked into my veins.

I need a change.
Stop living this way.

If this be
the way it goes.

I need love.
I need prose.

I need love.
I need a home.

A restoration
of self.

A bright light
to guide me along.

A little soul
to sing a song.

I hope you
do the same.

Stop living
in pain

and sing
Hallelujah.

Praise his name.
This I need today.

This I need
every day.

Still living,
still breathing.

An animal
caged.

Free me from
this cage, this maze.

Help me
find my way

In Jesus name
I pray, Amen.
