Sometimes I don’t know how to pray,
How to express to you what I feel.
Somehow, I know you still understand me,
No matter what I’m going through.
Sometimes I make the wrong choices,
Disobeying and grieving you.
Somehow, you still forgive me,
Even for the things I shouldn’t do.
Sometimes Lord, I feel so lost.
Not knowing what to do, or who to turn to.
And sometimes Lord, I feel so hurt.
That my chest aches and my heart feels so heavy.
Sometimes Lord, I feel all down.
Thinking about everything that has happened.
Somehow Lord, I’m still thankful you protect me,
Even though I run off on my own.
Sometimes Lord, I wish I could care less,
Then I wouldn’t feel so betrayed.
Sometimes Lord, I wish I could cry less,
So I wouldn’t feel so vulnerable in my circumstances.
Sometimes Lord, I wish I could love less,
Then I wouldn’t have to hurt so much.
But somehow Lord, I know you see me,
And when I cry, you cry with me.
Sometimes Lord, I am so angry,
At all the lies and superficiality.
Sometimes Lord, I am so irritated,
When things don’t turn out right.
And sometimes Lord, I get so frustrated,
When I try and try and fail, seeing others succeed.
But somehow Lord, you come through for me,
In your time, in ways, I can’t even begin to understand.
Sometimes Lord, I say things I don’t mean.
I pray you forgive me.
Sometimes Lord, I choose to do things,
Which make you very sad.
Sometimes Lord, I don’t even understand myself,
I pray you guide me.
And sometimes Lord, I don’t know what to do,
I pray you give me wisdom.
Sometimes Lord, I don’t understand,
All this love you have for me.
That I look for it in the wrong places,
And end up hurting myself.
Sometimes Lord, I can’t believe,
That you thought of me above all.
Somehow Lord, though I’m unworthy,
You still came and died for me and set me free.
Sometimes Lord, when things go wrong,
I will learn to trust you more.
And sometimes when I feel hurt,
Lord, I pray I will love you more.
Sometimes, when I do things I shouldn’t,
I pray that the Holy Spirit will give me strength to persevere.
And somehow Lord, I’ll always remember,
That I always have you near.
