Prayer of the Sinner

Let me learn to love the unseen
Help me to forgive, to repent, to be clean
Give me the strength to carry on with my day
Give me peace in my mind, clear the disarray
Make my life as You want it to be
Full of love and joy, or test me with suffering
Let me feel Your presence, drown me in Your heart
Spare me from Your enemy, don't let us drift apart
Because I want to learn to know Your ways
And give myself to You and obey
I want you to be my first thought
Every morning and say I was bought
By the Superior God, no other can stand against
No other has Your army, because You're indeed the best
Satan only lies, he steals away Your own
Muhammad could only live so long, his words weren't engraved into stone
Buddha agrees with love, with happiness and joy
But he also seems to think that life's only a toy
But You have taught Your people that only You can save
And because the world's Your opposite, we must be consistently brave
People will not love us, because we don't love the world
And we don't need to follow society's rules, for we listen to Your word
Humans will always let us down, You've taught me that quite well
But I'm just starting to realize I need to leave my shell
I'd built up a castle, fortified, strong
But You ripped it down, because You know I was wrong
I'm meant to be a witness, to discourage misplaced love
I'm supposed to interpret symbols, like the olive branch and dove
It's hard to break out of here
When the outside world is my biggest fear
I don't want to be hated, to be told I'm wasting my time
How can I explain I'm Yours and You're mine?
No one seems to understand the relationship we share
And I guess that might be the legitimate reason speaking makes me scared
I'm a Jonah mixed with Moses, I can't speak to crowds
I'm not one of those outspoken girls, not afraid to speak aloud
I'm also really selfish, and I have a lot of hate
I don't want to share You with some girls, let them decide their fates
So help me, God, to be like You
And I'll be back in Heaven with You
I'll stand in the entrance to Your grand home
And kneel at Your feet as You sit on Your throne
And when that day comes, when the angels start to sing
You'll be waiting for me, the Light my death will bring

Love is Enough

When we were talking earlier today
I thought of something I should say:
I love everything you do
The way you smile, say, "I love you"
I love it when you touch me, it shows how much you care
I love it when you caress my arm, and when you play with my hair
I love it when you make me food; God knows I love to eat
I love it when you text me randomly, saying you bought a treat
I love how simple our love is, and how words cannot describe
What we feel inside
Our hearts are close to bursting, our lips tired from the kiss
Our memories are becoming full from all the images we don't wanna miss
So, my love, I'll be sweet, but only out of love
'Cause I love you, you love me, and love is always enough
