Dear Lord Help Me Change My Ways

Dear Lord Help Me Change My Ways

"**

Dear Lord

Help me change

My ways

I realize

Now

I went 

Astray

I love you God

I trust you

To care for me

I was a fool to think I didn't need your guidance

I just lied to myself

You build me up

You make me strong

No matter what I have

I'm weak without you

I've been torn in two

By the life of chosen to lead 

My chemical high

Has put me in a hole

When I'm straight

And want to be with you

My mind screams for that substance I need 

With your help, though, I believe 

I could come back. 

Again, to the world

I once knew

Once knew as a child
