My Prayer To Jesus Poem by Lebone Tshepe

MY PRAYER TO JESUS
I'M STANDING HERE
WITH NO BELIEVE
AM I SEEING THE WORLD
OH LORD, WITH SO MUCH FEAR

SOMETIMES I FEEL
WHY I'M HERE YES BUT JESUS
YOU ONLY KNOW ME

I KEEP ON WONDERING
IF CHURCH IS FOR PRAISING YOU
OR YOUR TEMPLE IS DROWNING
FOR SO MUCH HATERD WANTED
AND YOUR HOLY SPIRIT IS FADING

SOME PEOPLE WILL THINK I'M CRAZY
OTHERS THINK I'M FUNNY
MOST OF THEM MENTION ME AS THEIR FRIEND
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRETEND
WHO AM I YOU ONLY KNOW THE REAL ME

AS I TRY TO LOOK IN THE LIGHT
WHY LORD, WHY IS IT IM STILL SO COLD
FOR I HAVE NOTHING TO COVER ME
AND THE KNIFES AND DARTS ARE READY TO STRIKE

I'M STILL LYING THERE
MY EYES OF AN OWL
IT DOESN'T LAST AN MINUTE OR HOUR
I UNTIL SPOT THE BAD HAIRS

MY HEART BEATS
I HAVE NO AIR IN ME
IM SO SCARED FATHER
WHY LORD
WHY IS IT I HAVE NO FAITH

I START TO RUN
I CAN HEAR MYSELF BREATHING
AS I TRY TO CALM MYSELF
THE SHADOWS KEEP FOLLOWING ME
WHAT SHALL I DO FOR I AM BLOCKED
BLOCKED BY FEAR AND PAIN

'I SURRENDER', I SAY
I CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF
JESUS I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE
I'VE SEEN THE NEGATIVE
AND NONE OF THE POSITIVE

SO I PRAY THE POWERFUL PRAYER
JESUS MY LORD AND GOD MY FATHER
PLEASE HELP ME TO COPE
AND STAY BY ME FOREVER
I HAVE NO FAITH, TRUST AND HOPE
BUT ONLY YOU MY PROTECTOR

I FEEL TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
AND SO I KNEEL DOWN
FATHER PLEASE FORGIVE ME
MY HEART IS CRYING
AND MY BODY IS SHIVERING
LORD I NEED YOUR TOUCH
AND YOUR COMFORT

AND SO I PRAY
OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
THY KINGDOM COME
THINE WILL BE DONE
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD
AND FORGIVE OUR TRESSPASSES
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESSPASS
AGAINST US
AND LEAD US NOT TO TEMPTATION
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM
THE POWER AND THE GLORY
FOREVER AND EVER
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN

I OPENED MY EYES
WHAT IS IT I SEE
MIRACLE, AFTER THE PRAYER
JESUS HAS BLESSED ME WITH HIS WONDERS
'GLORY TO GOD', I SHOUT OUT
FOR YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH, BELIEVE AND HAPPINESS
THANK YOU LORD
THANK YOU FOR STAYING BESIDE ME
