GROWING UP

Save me Lord from this mess I’m in,
this web of lies, deceit and sin.
I’m bound by the world and can’t escape,
the grip of its hand is far too great.
Please loosen up these chains so tight,
and save me from this darkest night.
I can’t take much more I need your help,
I can no longer fight this by myself.
But with a strength far greater than mine,
I have no doubt that I’ll be fine.
Your endless power, strength and love,
create nothing on earth I can’t rise above.
So for now I thank you as best I can,
for turning me from a boy to a man.
