I Come To You

I bow my head in solemn prayer
May God have mercy on my soul
I feel so burdened, much despair
Oh, help me please to gain control

My hands are clasped; held so tight
The scent of incense fills the air
I’m one of three in here tonight
Our lives, to Him, we all now share

Oh, dear just Lord, I’ve fallen weak
I place my trust, my faith’s in you
My heart is free to hear You speak
Answer me Lord, please, tell me true

I pray dear God you are on my side
My face, from you, can never hide

I’m but a man, a mortal with sin
Not mortal, but venial, I say to Thee now
I wish to change the state I am in
But, dear God, I do not know how

I pray for strength to make things right
I pray that my family just understands
I seek out Your blessings upon this night
To feel caressing of Your forgiving hand

I’ll do as You wish, just give me a sign
The words I’ll then speak, will be of You
I know You can heal this life I call mine
For You’re the Almighty, that I know true

Please give me a chance to change my ways
My life unto You is offered with praise
