My Light

by Bilal anaim

Lord please keep
me away from myself
keep me within your heart
And no where else
Keep me from wandering
into the night
****
Allow me to remain with you
For you are my light
Yes I am stubborn
and unable to learn
That's why I ask you lord
To keep me from harm
****
Ask and you will receive
seek and you'll find
These are your promises
Now they are mine
****
My ways are not your ways
For high are your thoughts
You know the truth in full
my truth is not
****
Forgive me for all my days
spent on my own
For now while I'm with you
My life is not my own
