DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER

MY SHACKLES ARE BROKEN AND I KNOW I AM FREE
BUT THE DEVIL TRIES TO HOLD ME AND KEEP ME IN THIS DEBRIS.
REMINDERS FROM ONE LIFES PAIN, THE DEVIL SAYS HERE JUST TAKE IT, TAKE IT WITH A PIECE OF GRAIN.
TIRED OF FIGHTING, SCREAMING INSIDE LIKE ITS SCREAMING IN VAIN, LORD OPEN THE HEAVENS, LET IT POUR LIKE RAIN.
WEAK INSIDE I'M SHOUTING ON JESUS NAME, I DIDN'T KNOW I WOULD FALL WHILE I'VE LOOKED AT THE REMAINS.
TAKE THE DEVIL FAR AWAY FROM ME, DRIVEN SO INSANE LORD I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
LORD YOU BROUGHT ME OUT, OH HOW IT WAS A LOT, SHOW ME YOUR PLAN AND WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
I WILL FINALLY STAND AND LET EVERYTHING GO, TAKE THE DEVIL AND KEEP HIM IN HELL BELOW.
I'LL SHUT EVERYTHING UP, TRY TO KEEP HIM FROM COMING IN, AS YOU TAKE MY HAND AND LET'S BEGIN AGAIN.
TAKE ALL THE HURT AND MEND THE SCARS, GIVE BACK MY JOY AND COMPASSION THAT CAN REACH NEAR AND FAR. I'LL KEEP YOUR WORD, KEEP IT IN MY HEART, LAY MY WILL DOWN FOR YOURS AS A PROMISE IS MADE THAT WE WILL NEVER BE APART.
MY FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME, THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE ME THIS DAY MY DAILY BREAD AND FORGIVE ME MY TRESPASSES AS I FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST ME. LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER ME FROM EVIL. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN!
