Dear Lord
Rickey Pettis 1983 (Texas)
Dear lord forgive me if I become lost
Forgive me for my sins had to protect my heart at all cost
So much trouble in this life I lead
Hope to god I live to see my unborn seeds
So much pain feels like I’ll never escape
Never thought my life would be like this is this my fate
Somebody come end my suffering take it all away
So many let downs hoping for a better day
Heart full of demons countless thoughts keep my mind full
Just trying to survive in this cold world trying to avoid the devil’s pull
Will you help me please save me pain cuts deep like a sword
I know your there please answer Dear Lord
