What good are ideals when crushed by reality
What good is this spirituality when my heart pains for fatality
This too aches, it breaks and it shakes
My faith being tested, no brakes
These are the cards I've been dealt
A broken heart is what I've felt
Hope
Ever fading, descending as like a slippery slope
A call to repentance
Frustration a hindrance
I'm sorry my God
The spirit gives an affirmative nod
Yet the flesh wages war for this bod
Deception all around me
Give me sustainability
They say give me liberty or give me death
I say, your will at every breath
What surrounds me is at odds with your will
It must be, as you say "Be still."
You say seek
I am weak
You say pray
In my heart all day
Your will my God
I call on your name, is that odd?
You've heard my petition
You've heard it before, just another rendition
Mercy
See me
Hear me
Feel me
Heal me
I call on your name as you sit upon your throne from eternity
Give me your ear
I know, I know, you are here
This is the battle of mind
The battle of the soul that seeks you and hopes to find
Speak to me O' God!
I wish to hear your voice and comfort, not the rod
A love that ignites
A fellowship that last through the nights
I ask that you speak
Mercy O' God, you are meek
Your will be done
Hear the intercession of Your Son
I am yours
No closed doors
There is nothing to hide
In your presence I wish to reside
