Lord in Heaven hear my prayer. I cry in desperation. I send these words into the air With an urgent, deep sensation. Please give me the peace I seek Amidst my weekly toil. Heal these aching bones that creak With your anointing oil. In the dark and greasy hall I daily sell my time As the molten mountains fall The break-time whistle chimes. Let me see the ladder That Jacob once beheld For this painful life is sadder Then fear that death compelled. Give to me my daily bread, That I can put on my table. Erase at night my daily dread So tomorrow I’ll be stable. Refill me with your strength! My tired brain does stammer. Let my life have length As I raise this burning hammer. This is now my simple prayer A simple souls’ express. Not for wealth beyond compare But just for simple rest. I realize now it’s not your task To break these horrid chains I cannot receive the things I ask Until I end these pains. So I must smash this hated yoke By the virtue of my will So just as clearly as I spoke My prayer will be fulfilled.
Hey man, i gotta say i really like this one, it's one of your best. Great rhyming too, i'm really diggin' it.
