Lord, I issue a prayer here tonight,
Knowing You will answer my plight.
I beseech you that you will help me write,
So that others may see the light.

My friends, they struggle no more than I,
But they have followed you by and by,
And even when I break down and cry,
Their faith will never fail and run dry.

Lord, we all struggle with temptation,
A crying out across the nation,
We mar your name with desecration,
But you hold us from justification.

You sent Your Son to die for our sin,
Yet we refuse to let You in.
We beg that You help us win,
But we deny you, to my chagrin.

Lord, stop us in our wicked ways,
That we will live, til the end of days,
If only we would just obey,
And worship you, just as we pray.

Help me convert my friends in need,
This, of You, is all I plead.
Let me show that you chose to bleed,
So that from sin we can be freed.
