about
This song is inspired by a yearning to make the world a better place. In order to achieve that, it needs to begin with oneself. This song addresses that journey of acceptance of failures as individuals and our yearning to be better versions of ourselves.
lyrics
Verse 1
Lord show me the way unto You
I am lost and I can't see You
there are times I dunno where I'm going
Take me back into your arms, Lord
Wipe me clean of all my wrongs, Lord
I'm so ashamed of what I've been doing
Lord I come to You on my knees
I am crying, begging You please
don't leave me out here in the open
Chorus
You need to heal me, Lord
I needa feel You, Lord
My sins are blinding me from seeing You
Please forgive me, Lord
Show me mercy and compassion, Lord
Your love is deeper than the oceans
Verse 2
There are times when I deny You
Spite my brother, wrong my sister
haven't loved my neighbour like You asked me to
I have worshipped worldly possessions
placed You after Earthly credentials
chosen to disregard Your calls to me
Chorus
You need to heal me, Lord
I needa feel you, Lord
My sins are blinding me from seeing You
Please forgive me, Lord
Show me mercy and compassion, Lord
Your love is deeper than the oceans
Bridge
Oh Lord please help me change my ways
I wanna please You all my days
You've given me the gift of life
through Your sacrifice
Save me from the evil one
I wanna be part of Your kingdom
I wanna be one with You
Rap
What's up pops you see me sinning and lusting over money and linen
don't get it twisted you know that you stay within
and there's no limits on how I show my commitment
that's why we all pray each in our own way
and we all forgiven
it's no coincidence we coincide
the most high you’re so inside
us all I feel we’re so alike
right I know my wrongs I know my rights
I saw your signs
the doves fly the stars glide
I ask why
but why ask
I let your opportunities pass after I asked for them
to me that’s just as bad as being blasphemous
the moments I didn't capture my bad
that’s why I'm asking you please
Chorus
You need to heal me, Lord
I needa feel You, Lord
My sins are blinding me from seeing You
Please forgive me, Lord
Show me mercy and compassion, Lord
Your love is deeper than the oceans
