A Prayer (song of healing)

On April 30th at midnight, I was just sitting in my bedroom thinking about some stuff and out of nowhere I got some inspiration to write a song.
I wrote it as a prayer to God and when I looked at it after I was finished I was like "wow.....someone, somewhere might be praying this".
This is actually the first "Prayer-like" song that I have ever written and it's not half bad. It's still being tweaked, but here is what I have so far.

A Prayer
by Liz Hitt

Dear God,
It's me again
I don't know why I keep failing You
You deserve so much more than what I can give
My life is a mess
I keep trying so hard to do things on my own
I just dig a deeper hole than before You were in control

Chorus:
Take my heart of stone
And make it Yours
I've lost the will to go on anymore
Only You can heal
Mend and fix
This broken life
And make it real

Dear God,
No one likes me
Or if they do well it's hard to notice
Where is the love that I once felt?
That love of no condition, no regrets, but of compassion
Oh I give up
I am running back to where that love was this whole time
I need You
And in You my life is restored, renewed and reborn

(chorus)



I don't know why God put these words on my heart, but I am glad that He did because hopefully it will mean something to someone. It will give comfort to someone who is hurting. It will give them hope that God is going to redeem them back to Himself and heal their broken lives and make them real.
As I said before, I am still tweaking this song, but what you just read was the un-tweaked version of it :)

I would love to hear your input on it.

Have a blessed day!
