A Wretch's Prayer

by Lexi Hilife - Leo

God lift this burden from my shoulders  Twin anchors I can not shake  I can not bare the weight  A tenacious monkey who plauges me if I sleep or if I wake  This is no act  I have no organ he has no cup  I earn nothing from this  The voracious monkey eats me up  Ebbing my soul, spirit, and pride  Help me I tire of giving this monkey a ride  He refuses to shake  I fear without intervention my life I will forsake  Intellectually this wise insight I know, but with the circus I always go  So if Lord your love is true Cast your eye from above me  Pray I you  Recover thee     Lexi Hilife
