"A Sinner's Prayer (SC Phantom Poet Challenge)"
  by Poetic Lyricist


Father
I pray that you hear my prayers in the name of Jesus
If there’s salvation – Send it – Cause I need it
I no longer wanna be this creature
I can barely recognize my own features
But how can I go to my teacher
Who calls his self a preacher
When I see the look of lust in his eyes for that woman whenever he sees her
I overheard him saying how he wanna please her
So send salvation, not only to me but to my leader

I wish the world wouldn’t test me
Because the evil always seem to get the best of me
And when I protect myself – The world thinks less of me
They can’t understand why I’m a slayer
Maybe it’s because I’m made of layers
So Dear God – Help me – Won’t you please hear a sinner’s prayer

Help me turn the other cheek
This beast I no longer wanna be
Make the good outweigh the evil in me
So I won’t be forced to lay down my enemies
Pour deliverance upon me before I fall into that internal sleep

Why must I be teased with sweet temptation
At a time when I’m being deprived of sweet sensations
Give me a revelation
Because I wanna be loved so badly that I can taste it
Please hear what I’m saying
I can’t take this turmoil the enemy is bringing
For I’m just a sinner on my knees praying

I know you say vengeance is yours
But that hard to comprehend when someone takes away on of your boys
It’s hard to listen to the voice of reasoning
When your mind is being invaded with loud noises

And why can’t my brother show me love while I’m still here
Why must he wait for my soul to disappear
Because sorrow is in vein if one can’t see his tears
I’ll like to have my flowers today
Because I can’t smell them if the Grim Reaper takes me away
And I know I have issues
It comes from years of being misused and abused
So Dear Father – Fix me
Because I’m handing my troubles unto you
