Had fun making this one. Lyric needs work, but it's honest. What Dad doesn't want his wife, kids, and world to be okay?

lyrics

I ain’t ever been one to pray
You could say I’ve had my doubts
But I’m scared Lord, and I been thinkin’
Might be best to ask aloud

I know my past ain’t perfect,
Won’t’cha please Lord, hear me out
See I got this wife and fam’ly
And it’s them I’m worried ‘bout

It seems the world’s gone crazy
And there’s trouble here at home
No, I won’t go into details,
But we ain’t gon’ make it all alone

You know all our burdens
At least that’s what I’ve been told
Then Lord please, I’m beggin’
Won’t you satisfy my soul

Bring peace and understanding
If not without then please, within
‘Cause my mind’s all ablaze, Lord
Look at the shape we’re in

I’ve gotta raise these kids, Lord
I gotta honor my wife
I gotta work for a livin’
I gotta make a better life

[chorus]

Took me this long to figure out
What I was really askin’ for
I need strength for what’s ahead, Lord
Don’t think we can take that much more

I appreciate the listening
My moment’s almost done
Please keep my family safe
In the name of the Son.
