Louie

Hands raised
Side by side
Palms together
In a vertical line

He shuts his eyes
And begins to cry
His body shaking
And trembling inside

His legs kneeled
On the concrete floor
He whispers, "forgive me,
For I haven't done this before"

I've heard about you
All of my life
But never really needed you
Until tonight

I feel as if
Your my only hope
That you will get me through this
When everything else won't

I come to you
Because of my wife
She loves and praises
Your name everynight

I want the same joy
That she has in her life
Instead of gambling,
Drugs and drinks to get by
I want something more
Something pure as my vice

I am not a perfect man
And I've commited my share of sins
Too many to count
I don't even know where to begin

So I'm asking you
To come into my life
To have a relationship
To prosper, to thrive

I can tell your listening
Even if I cannot see
I guess this is what it feels like
To actually believe

It feels really good
To talk things out
Thanks for listening Lord
I feel a weight lifted now
