Selfish Prayer

Selfish Prayer I’d really like to be happy I can’t remember how that feels It was a lasting feeling My loneliness steals I admit it, I’m alone all the time It’s partly why it won’t change I’m more afraid of the wrong thing It’s all I know, is that strange? I wish I could do something I just feel so alone lately It takes all the motivation All the ability right out of me I want to give myself to someone And be full again, with everything good I want a chance to love again Please give me that, if You could Send someone that sees my heart broken And is patient with me anyway Someone that leads the simple life And wants me around, every day I’d like my faith to paint a picture Tell You exactly what I see Truth is, I don’t know anymore Maybe this is all You have for me I keep wondering why Why’d You make me this way? I want more than anything to love And You’ve taken it away
