Make firm these hollow steps my lord

Please keep these feet from tripping

Anchor me on solid ground

Cuz I feel my faith is slipping

Its hard to see your narrow gates

The path, it keeps on drifting

Im so fatigued by all the weight

The fog is never lifting

The enemy, who drags me down

Today, I fear is winning

So, im reaching out for Heaven’s crown

And pray that you’re forgiving

Ive heard that those who seek your light

Are granted love and mercy

But I fear my tattered wings can’t fly

And that you will never free me

I know I don’t deserve your grace

And my heart is stained with darkness

Please help me navigate this maze

Cuz Im lost without your compass

There’s so much grief inside this heart

Emotions twist and bend

Please fill my soul with all you are

Cuz im desperate for a friend
