Lord,with a heavy heart,

And a burden that's hard to bear,

I kneel before you,ready to part,

Part with all my struggles in somber prayer.

I repent for trying to change,

The things of my past,

I am asking you to break these chains,

To please set me free,

To be free at last.

I ask Lord,you remove my thought's,

Protect me ,protect me from me,

I am but one more,the Devil has saught,

Tonight Lord,I claim your power to flow through me.

I empty out my cup,

Of all the hurt,anger,and pain,

So you can graciously fill it up,

With joy and love,to show me what is to gain.

I am at the foot of the Cross,

Still struggling with fears,

So dismayed and distraut,

And I know God,you've counted all my tears,

I ask that like the wings of the Eagle,

Lord,you give me courage to soar higher,

And make me stronger.

I thank you for all your blessing's on me,

And I do count them each one by one,

But Lord,now I just need time to breathe,

I just need your sweet tender mercies and love,

Breath of Heaven fall all over me,

Until my soul is completely free.

The Devil cannot have me,

Because you already own me,

So tonight Lord,I fall on your mercies,

Please,Lord,Please just heal me,

Heal me physically,spiritually,completely,

Heal me through and through.

At this moment Lord,and for Eternity,

I am trusting only in you,

Lead me through the doors,

You open,and you alone.

And now Lord,I thank you for your love,

Help me always look above,

To see that you will always be here,

And that there's nothing to fear.

Amen.
