Last name
Today I sat and spoke to God because I can't seem to keep his way;
I beg and plead for help from him, but my chains have failed to break;
I cry, Lord I will not forsake you or leave myself in shame;
If lord you would please hold me and give me your last name;
I am a seeker of the holy truth but I never see it through;
And end up falling short of right and losing sight of you;
I try too hard at perfection but it's the devils game;
So lord please forgive me and give me your last name;
I want to be betroven to the one who's light never dims;
I want to close my eyes at night and feel the peace within;
Never will I be hurting and filled with so much pain;
If only you would have me and give me your last name;
Please God won't you bless me and give me your last name;
