Mercy on Me

Image
Lord have mercy on my soul For I have walked the sinful road That I'm down on my knees Lord have mercy on me, please Ohh yeah Jesus, I must confess That in all my loneliness I've forsaken and I've sinned Leaving fragments of a man so broken I could tell you what I've done Or should I tell you where I went wrong? Well the more that I start to play My deceitful, evil ways Keep on growing stronger by the day Oh lord have mercy on my soul For I have walked a sinful road So I'm gonna get down on my knees Beg forgiveness to help set me free Lord have mercy on me, please Mother Mary full of grace In my weakness, I've lost faith I've been careless, and I have been warned And the devil inside me is torn God bless the men that I have scorned So don't let me fool around no more Send your angels down to guide me through that door Well I've gone and confessed my regrets And I pray I'm not held in contempt I'm so lost, and I need you to help me repent Oh l

Broken

Not a quitter,  But I need to give up this fight  For my sanity, my pride  Do I leave? Do I stay and try?  Cause any minute,  You will say the words goodbye  Give me love, then change your mind  And break all that I am inside  That's why I'm never gonna love this way again  I'm never gonna give my heart again  Cause every time I try  I end up broken  I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)  I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)  I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)  I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)  These are stars  These are the days  And they shine for you and me  So tell me why do we stand in the rain?  Cause any minute,  We will both be killing time  Tryna save you and I  And that's no way to live  Someday you'll miss my love  Yes my love  You'll remember what you had  And I'll forget the past  And move on to someone else  A love I can feel 

Who You Are

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah I stare at my reflection in the mirror Why am I doing this to myself? Losing my mind on a tiny error I nearly left the real me on the shelf No, no, no, no, no,no Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart Tears don't mean you're losing Everybody's bruising Just be true to who you are Who you are, who you are, who you are Who you are, who you are, who you are no no no no no no Who you are, who you are, who you are who you are who you are Brushing my hair, do I look perfect? I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah The more I try the less it's working, yeah, yeah, yeah 'Cause everything inside me screams No, no, no, no, no,no,no,no Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard to follow your

Breathe Me

Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And the worst part is there's no one else to blame Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small and needy Warm me up And breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found, Yeah I think that I might break I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small and needy Warm me up And breathe me Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small and needy Warm me up And breathe me

We all Try

I believe Jehovah Jireh I believe there's heaven  I believe in war  I believe a woman's temple  gives her the right to choose but baby don't abort I believe that marriage isn't  between a man & woman  but between love and love  and I believe you when you say that  you've lost all faith  but you must believe in something  something something  you gotta believe in something  something something  I still believe in man  a wise one asked me why cause i just don't believe we're wicked  i know that we sin but i do believe we try  we all try  the girls try  the boys try  women try  men try  you and I  try try we all try  I don't believe in time travel  I don't believe our nation's flag is on the moon  I don't believe our lives are simple  and I don't believe they're short  this is interlude  I don't believe my hands are cleanly  can't believe that you would  let me touch your heart  she didn't believe me when i said that

Hi folks..Happy Friday to all of you'se. Hope you had a good week? I had a good week. Busy, busy and topped with an act of kindness I can't believe. Men, work was so busy, I feel like we had 10 days crammed into this week. That being said, I still love my job and it really isn't stressful. I am learning a lot and enjoying what I learn. It's so funny because you pray for something so long you don't even realize when it gets answered because it took so long. I pray for the tiniest and the largest things. Before I moved into this apartment, I prayed so hard for God to help me find a place that I could afford but fit what I wanted. I was so frustrated one day cuz I couldn't find anything, I headed straight to the liquor store and drowned my sorrows. The day I found the apartment, it took me like less than 30 minutes to decide. Same goes for my new job. I got tired of searching and applying but when I got this position it happened so quickly I didn't even know wh

In the midst of the chaotic world that we seem to be living in, I stick out my hand and wave hello to you guys. Seriously guys, what the hell is going on in the world? I feel like my head is spinning. Every corner you turn to something is going to. Either a plane has crashed, a notable figure has died, wars being fought, a black man being shot, diseases spreading. sheeesh. Na only this world waka come? What can one do but just hope and pray for God's protection and strength for those feeling these situations way worse than we do. On my end, it's been a fun summer and I am a little bummed that it is about to end. I am about to face my first real winter since I have been in America. Fun. NOT! But yea, I have been doing things, especially my favorite - traveling. I had a two week break and realized that the next 4 weekends I will not be in my house. My mother keeps asking me when I will stop being adventurous (to her, traveling is adventurous o) and settle down? (code for marry).
