Heavenly Father I've been running since I was a child

Been scared of people getting close and eventually walking out

I saw friends take their last breath

That's something I don't like to talk about

So dear Lord I'ma open up

I've been feeling pretty lonely

I don't know if I can make it

But I'm fighting back slowly

So let me get this here straight

You already laid Your life down

You already gave Yours up

So I ain't got to take mine now

You walk to Your death and it wasn't quick and it wasn't painless

And everybody's pointing fingers

But You the only one that's blameless

It's like I see You looking at me

With my name written in Your blood

And You died so I can live

And You did it all out of love

I can't pay You back but I still give You my all

Help me forgive those that hate me and want to see me fall

And we all miss The Dog but now his spirit's unleashed

X speak to our souls may your words bring us peace

I thank You Lord for my birth and everything that's followed

I thank You Lord for today and I will pray for tomorrow

I thank You Lord for the love of my life and the friend

I made a promise and I'm loving my wife till the end

I thank You Lord for Your guidance 'cause it's all that counts

And right here right now Lord this is Your house

I thank You Lord for a dream that came true to life

And I ask You to bless everybody in this room tonight

I don't always do the right thing and I ask You to forgive me

'Cause I need You here with me without You in my life it's empty

I think back how some people did me like violence was the remedy

And because I think of that now I pray for my enemy

Not because of what I do but because they don't know

There's something better after here but everybody won't go

So I ask You to forgive them and we'll hope they see

And I thank You for the love that they've given to me

I will not abuse it nor will I lead them astray

You see I love them like children that I see every day

And I pray You know we pray together

Get us through the bad weather and we love You forever

Let Your thought and my heart go hand in hand

I first thought but to start but I stand a man

And for as long as I can as long as You permit me

Please give me the strength I need to live bear with me
