Dear God

Dear God,

Our people suffer
They cry out
Lamenting their lives

I will not shrink
I will not falter
In prayer nor praise



I beseech you father
Give us strength
A glimpse of hope

A vision that we
Might survive this difficult time
A sign that we may endure

I have been unworthy
Cleaned only by the sacrifice on Golgotha
But, here I kneel none the less

Imperfect, impure, yet unashamed
I am brought to you
I have been redeemed

As such I use my authority
I call upon you to honor that covenant
Given to Eve so long ago

I am your child
I am brash
I am bold

Father please
A measure of your mercy
A legion; no, an army I ask

The liar temps your people
The scourge of man upon us
Now, NOW you are needed

Sweep away these foolish illusions
Expose the impostor
Open the eyes of the blind

Dear God,
I am just a man
Envied by Angels and Demons

I stand
I STAND
I SHALL NOT FALL

I SHALL NOT FALTER
Stand with me
Stand for me

Dear God
