Vessel
Father above help me understand, for as your child
I am saved, though my heart weighs heavy with the troubles of this
world resting upon it. Your will be done, and though I may not understand
I attempt to do as I know would be your ways.
I watch with curious eyes as this world seems to turn more evil with each setting
of the sun. We see children being killed, people robbing others for mere possessions,
men who come unto us as your servant stealing from us as we hand it over unto you.
Your son's simple life under investigation, Human curiosity attempting to prove your word
to be false. No help for the homeless or the poor. Who are chastised and left to
die on the cold streets. Girls turning to selling their bodies to be able
to make it day to day. All the while our churches close their doors
and pretend it doesn't happen.
Father god help me understand why parents abandon children who are angels in
your sight, why do some parents adopt children for the money
the government will pay? How is it that truth is no longer
the side lady justice leans toward. How could she be that blind to
follow a fool's illusions?
Why must we all act as if we don't care, help me guide me to
show this world your love as I walk the path you have written for me.
For if I make a mistake or shall I fall I know the angels will be
there to pick me up and to right me in your ways....
This I offer to you a simple prayer from your
child who needs understanding, calm my heart and
let me be your vessel.....
