PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME

All my life, I wander in obscurity

Every path whirled, I find not the light 

But the holy spirit whispers to my heart

To succeed, rely not on your will or might


As does a lost sheep prone to prey, I am weak

Do not turn at me your back, I plead

I am your child regardless be who I turn out

To always love me, Lord you promised


In the wilderness of life, I have lost my path

Of whom I am, but need to be back on my feet

The devil took advantage of my greed

In the act of unfaithfulness, guilty I plead


Can you forgive the trespasses of this sinful heart?

I am knocking, hope the door to be opened

To the afflicted, your presence is a stronghold

Oh faithful Lord, be merciful to thy servant


Your grace for mankind has no threshold 

The bloodshed on the cross abide by all who yield 

For every wrong committed, purge me to do right

Body and soul, cast me not to be tormented


Root me in the foundation of your words, rebuild my faith

May the blessings denuded in my life be restored

Hold my hands, lead me to the promised land

Eternal life in heaven, I shall attend
