Prayer

Lord, I have wandered far,

I turned from Your signs,

yet I come with broken hands,

pleading, crying,

for mercy one more time.

I say I will change,

but I fall again.

I ask You to take them away,

then beg for them back.

forgive me, Lord, forgive me—

for not trusting Your plan.

Make me strong, Lord, make me strong,

to face their fire,

to stand in Your light.

Make me strong, Lord, make me strong,

for I believe,

I believe,

I believe.

I prayed for my haters to fade,

and You whispered truth instead:

when you are at the top,

you become the topic,

when you are the head,

you become the headline.

still I break,

still I cry into my pillow at night,

still I ask You to hear me.

Make me strong, Lord, make me strong,

to face their fire,

to stand in Your light.

Make me strong, Lord, make me strong,

for I believe,

I believe,

I believe.
