Listener
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
Please help me Lord to try and be myself. Seems I want to be someone else. The someone who's life ends in disaster. But eternal life is what I am after. Please help me Lord because I don't understand. Is that a curse two sides of a man. The one to do wrong the one to do right. One made for the day and one made for the night. But the one we know to be the best. Is the one who has his sins confessed. To give up life wasn't meant to be. Free with the Lord through eternity. Please help me Lord to really be myself. And put that old man back on the shelf. The one leading me is better than them all. He's always there to listen to my call.
