I want to live



Not to be dramatic but I don't want to die!
I want to live, without being worried about paying bills
I want to love and I want to be loved in return
I want the desires of my heart, for all the things that I've yearned
Oh my God
I want to be free from stress heartache and pain
Heal me Lord
Heal me physically spiritually mentally and emotionally
Then turn around and heal me financially
I want to live!
I believe I can fly!
I met a bird with one leg but he still had two wings and he told me that it's a sad song when a caged bird sings
I want to live
Free of isolation and desolation moving forward with no hesitation my concentration is purely focused on one thing and that's praising God and giving him the glory
Can you stand to be blessed my preacher asked because Lots wife turned to salt when she turned to look back
Flea to the mountains the angels said
And I rather live on the run than sleep comfortably dead
I didn't always think this way I remember wanting to die and hardships taught me that was a lie
You can't give up even when it's too hard, because it might be to hard for you but it's never to hard for God
I want to live
