Lord, I Need You

My intentions were built on a shaky foundation
This earthquake I call a life is breaking my patience
While the dark side calls my flesh
Weak at the moment, my prayers will mesh
I almost said wont-my thoughts are a mess
Failing to see the obvious and failing this test
For all who see- I'm just like you
Traveling through life at a speed we can't peruse
Until plans start to fall then goals pursuit
Chasing at a speed worth defying my youth
Twenty-seven now I'm lost in this coupe
With a soul who's comfortable with living life on a loop
Physical pleasure is her escape from it all
She entices me, but damn at what cost?
Drain me of my energy and flaws
Let this drink numb me down, I pray this isn't my downfall

All my life I
I was on your side
Now I cant breathe right, I cant see right
Lord save me now before they bring me down

Lord, I'm not saying that you failed me
I know you're always here, that's why I inhale peace
Exhale peace but stress intervenes like a thief
These nightmares override all the pleasant scenes
Some will believe that you left them dry
Hanging out to wither and die but I know you prophesized
That there's more to your life but you gotta fight through it
Nothing is given, this gift, you gotta use it
He gave us tools-learn what to do
Cuz when I fell in lust I knew where to move
But I can't help it- frustration get the best of me
Then I act out all of my misery
Sometimes I forget where I've been, not where I'm going
All theses blessings given got me knowing
I'm worth more now that makes me a target
To the deathly stravin', deceitful hating and the heartless

All my life I
I was on your side
Now I cant breathe right, I cant see right
Lord save me now before they bring me down
