God If I've Ever Needed You

To the power of our higher power

God I need your guidance, I've never been so afraid
This gift of verse, this curse of word
hit me like a barrage of demons from hell, today
My mind was plagued with images of my own dark suicide
I couldn't escape, couldn't sleep, couldn't wake, couldn't scream
Words finally after years of never being read, have sunk in...
I thought I'd healed, but the wounds still fresh within
no words from Tupac or any mortal can help me right now, Lord
I pray for your guidance, I pray for your presence to be known in my heart
calm this chaos, banish these demons from my dreams
Be a soft arm around my tortured soul, walk with me tonight
comfort the soul of a hurting child, your child
Show me not to fear tears, show me not to fear my words,
show me the strength you're taught me, while I'm blinded by my enemies...
banish them from my mind, guide me into your light tonight,
while I walk through the darkness of man's crimes against the flesh
and learn what lessons I may
In your name I pray
Amen
