MAKE MY PRAYERS COUNT!.

I am buried in this grave of shame, wrapped in the sheets of grief,

Sorrow is smeared on me as Vaseline to bid me farewell,

I cannot even breathe for I lost my breath God I need relief,

I have no hope in this pit; so lost worried about my dependents,

Love and Courage they are; haven’t drown water for I am the well.

I need your light of victory Lord For I am in this valley of the shadow of death.

I fear not cause I know you are with me at least give me a pillow of strength,

Somewhere to put my head even my chest I need a life vest,

I am buried in this grave of shame because I feel I have not prayed enough,

For my sweethearts love and courage live in vain, I am buried in shame.

Lord give me the warmth of your embrace rub my tears with life,

Only your sight can awaken me with a smile please be my shield,

Protect me from the Angel of death a lot to do I have on earth for you,

I has to change the world with Love and courage do not let go of me,

I believe you have touched me and now I beseech your strength.

I am a flower without color despair is now my name I am full of shame,

Pale couldn’t reside in me nor light because darkness annexed them in me,

Lord give me a new name Victory would work for me I need to rise and shine.

Please raise me out of this pit listen to my empty sounding heart pounding in grief,

For it has more to say than my mouth make my prayers count.
