A Yell For God

I walk, I walk through this path of pain, god I need you, so my love could be regained. The 
day’s young, but I’m not seeing any light, I said to myself this can’t be right. No answer from 
god, this can’t be, I know god’s not a fraud. Digging down deep into my soul finding myself lost, 
finding what I’ve done in the past has a cost. I lay here, I cry, but why. Come god, come to 
me, let me see so I can be free. I’m walking through this valley blind, felling like I’m losing my 
mind. God I need you by my side, I need your light to guide.

Lord keep me strong, please, I’m tired of doing wrong. I close my eyes tight, wishing away all 
my fright. Still I see no sky, not seeing time come untied. This can’t be gods will, it’s not what I 
feel. I walk still, with no light of day, this can’t be the way. It’s not supposed to be like this, 
feeling unblessed with all the mist. I call for gods love, but I hear nothing up above. Not knowing 
my prayers reaching he’s ear, with this I really fear. I must end this day, with my debt, I will 
pay. God I yell to you, let this hell not be true! No! I will not lose my faith, because with god I 
know I’m safe. And every sorrow, pain, and ache, I know god will not forsake. God with this I 
pray to you, because your love for me will be true.
