When you're surrounded by people who pull at you every single day.. you start to feel just like a rag doll...lifeless with no words to say
You slip into another world to escape the heavy burden... pulling back from friends and family who ignore just how much you're hurtin'
The stranger's face you now see in the mirror is one that you've not met...fear grips your heart, and cripples your mind as this image you struggle to forget
Noone ever announced to you the arrival of this uninvited guest...her presence is very troubling to you..her silence the ultimate test
You build a wall around you allowing few to enter... loved ones become anxious as they watch you attack your beloved mentor
You turn your pain inwardly while you suffer alone...you cannot see but, others do, that your demons are full blown
You are tortured by vague memories of the life you once knew...your days and nights roll into one as you escape from the world's view
The eye of the world has decided to watch your each and every move...they remain ignorant to the fact that their own lives they need to improve
You feel that your pain can be equated to maximum security..... in a warden-less prison which boast of one inmate and a missing key
The eyes that stare back at you are quite listless and blank... desperately you grapple with your demon but, once again he decides to pull rank
People all around urge you to slow down...they just don't understand that this evil wants to see you drown
You fall down upon your knees turn tearful eyes heavenward and begin to pray:
Oh, Heavenly Father, you were always there for me before I even knew myself...
I know that I've not lived my life exactly as I should have
'I Know It's Not Right But It's Okay' for me to...
'Run To You', Father... oh, merciful Father
'If I Told You That' I am not ashamed to admit that I thought I was oh, so grown that I had to
'Try It On My Own' but, right now if I promise you that
'My Love is Your Love' would you guide me through my dark clouds?
I trusted myself too much...thought I was the
'Queen of the Night'...I need to learn to turn my worries over unto you, Lord because....
'You Give Good Love' to all who submit to your will...oh, my sweet Father
You have never turned your back on your servants, when your Son gave his life for sinners like me...that was your way of saying.....you can
'Count on Me'
Help me to turn my life around, oh,..I submit to you that I will try harder to do what's right as I've let so many people down ... there's no one who understands my pain like you, Father. Please, tell me
'Where Do Broken Hearts Go'? if not to you? There are so many things pulling at me, Father
Can I get you to tell me, Lord,
'Why Does It Hurt So Bad'? Why does it keep me feeling sad?
Help me to love you more than any other, yes, I know that you are
'All The Man That I Need'...and your love is, yes, the
'Greatest Love of All', All I need to know is that I am precious in your eyes, Lord
'How Will I Know' for sure.....
'If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful' I know that I can believe that, Father, Help me take it...
'Step by Step'.....Create in me a new heart and spirit to strengthen me when times get rough, Lord. Help me, to draw closer to you..the way I used to be. I remember when I made you my stronghold, it seems so long ago. I am no different from anyone else, so I call upon you to restore me, oh, Father, check me out of this
'Heartbreak Hotel' that I have been holing up in for way too long.
'My Love is Your Love', yes it is, I can't do this alone and yet...
'I'm Every Woman' who loses her identity to someone or something. Help me, dear Lord, to find myself again...put me back into a familiar place...help me to relax and let YOU, Father. I need to just.........
'Exhale'
As I stand here before you I ask for your mercy, yes, I do...You see ....
'I Have Nothing'... nothing, so have mercy on me and release me from this prison...I can't do it alone, Lord. I left you...but, I do believe that with your help my life will be better 'cause I...I....
'I Believe In You And Me'.....thank you, Jesus
Remove any obstacles that stand before me... those who whisper in my ear.....
'Didn't We Almost Have It All'? I'm starting to feel
'So Emotional' as I lift my voice unto you, Lord, only you are worthy of all the glory...I am your child, please, help me to see that each song that I sang came from you as a blessing...but, I got caught up in that....
'One Moment in Time' and pretended to others that I was just..
'Fine'..somehow I know I need to be taught a lesson
'All At Once' I realized just how bad off I am, so I'm turning to you...asking you for your love.. I promise to surrender myself to you. I will do your will Father, believe when I say that I'm....
'Saving All My Love For You'.. I'll follow you and declare your goodness to others, just give me another chance to tell my enemies that....
'I Learned From The Best'.... I learned from you, precious Lord..
'I Will Always Love You'
I offer this prayer in your Son's name
-AMEN-
I love you, Whitney!!
