" Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness. "

-Reinhold Niebuhr

i come to u in shame Oh Heavenly Father
prayin in a time of need when times are gettin harder
but sometimes i feel like u wonder why i bother
if u don't hear me now it wont be a shocker

denyin u in situations of tested faith
knowin that i'm on yo property of real estate
but now i feel like i'm closer to my eviction date
i aint trynna work a deal but a commitment to where my head will lay

forgive me Land Lord for not payin rent
lustfully and greedly spendin up every cent
its mandatory that u receive yo 10%
cuz thats how all of yo blessins sent

lets keep it trill....
i thank u fo providin me wit all those meals
when i didnt have a dime in my name
u gave me tha knowledge to hustle my skills

but i got drawn to another skill
that caused many of blood spill
so could u forgive me fo those i shot
and tha ones that i might of killed

forgive me fo every lie that i said
and everything that i stoled
fo knockin off every shawty
behind my ol lady closed doors

forgive me fo been ungrateful to my moms
shes all i got
forgive me fo tha hatred
i had in my heart fo my pops

most of all Lord
forgive those who discourage sinners
lil do they know
we're all lossers till death show us winners

to u Lord
this is tha prayer i pray
cuz i know tha souls in hell
thats what they all day everyday

i'm workin on commitmenttin
to do this erveryday
and biuldin a relationship
to see some brighter days

i'm just a lil voice to u
thats loudly whisperin
but i would blame u
if weren't listenin
