Christ, my Brother, please take my pain
Shoulder my burden, ease my shame
Wipe my tears, my strength please raise
Joy to me bring, my soul will you save
My heart it needs lightening, my eyes, they need brightening
My conviction needs fight, to stand for what’s right
Take my hatred for others, my anger and sorrow
Desire for revenge, today and tomorrow
An unrighteous desire for another’s demise
That is not my true nature, above it I’ll rise
Dark clouds please lift, frown lines decrease
Remove from my brow, the stress lines there now
Help me to find, the strength to be kind
And to gently let go, what I cannot control
I long to move forward, the past to forget
Show me the pathway, please keep it lit
I’m trying to follow the things that I know
Soul destroyers and evil, of that I’ll let go
I thought some were placed in my life as an aid
And maybe they were, but their path has strayed
When we judge and betray, it works like a mirror
Reflections will show us, I hope we will hear
For what we invest, will have a return
And with our regret, an anguish shall burn
So Christ, let me learn, never to judge
And from my heart’s vision, never to budge
To spread love and joy and to help everyone
And may my good journey, never be done
Grant me dear Lord, the patience I’ll need
To get through this life of sadness and greed
To see silver linings you’ve place in my way
The love that is shining in faces each day
And for those you have sent, who have pure intent
Who love me for me, and not just for them
If you ask me, I’ll give everything that I am
Everything you have given me, I don’t give a damn
‘Bout the things of this world, love’s in a whirl
Nothing means anything, but love to this girl
As for thy sacrifice, this I need dearly
My own sins, I know them, I see them quite clearly
Grant me much kindness, to myself and to others
I humbly request this from You, my dear Brother
Please pass these things on to our Father above
And send me the answers, wrapped gently in love
♥
