DEAR LORD JUST WHO AM I


Lord I know you hold all answers
with this my wisdom grows
Please dear Lord enlighten me
does wisdom come and go

I'm looking now within myself
my ignorance now shadows
The years of wisdom I once held
all faults within I battled

I've stood against a wall of stone
not knowing what to do
Never taught to walk around
like life I pushed right through

I faced and face my demons
their flames shoot straight from hell
Oh Lord where is this knowledge now
the untold I must tell

I feel the myth of purgatory
I'm wasting precious time
I've joined the thieves I have deceived
my destiny was crime

Colorful graffiti chaotic self absorbed
dysfunction right from birth
I learned from strangers sought out danger
clueless to self worth

I made my bed many times
and yes that's where I laid
I let the devil drink with me
please forgive the beds I made

For many years I just survived
waiting for my death
Oh Lord I ask in humble prayer
please share your Holy Breath

Please Dear Lord breathe in me
the strength that I once held
Bear my endless weakness
the untold I must tell

If nothing else I pray
sometime before I die
Answer this one question
Dear Lord just who am I
