INSTEAD I PRAY

Yes lots to say to you,

Days you don’t know you get me through

Thinking sometimes I was go-ing to self-harm

But you bribed me with your love and charm

Your love comes to each and everyone

You’ll go home but your works not done

Depressed, once thought I couldn’t stay strong

I believe God told you to sing me that song

You may not remember but I’ll never forget

When I’m around you I don’t fret

Not depressed for a while

My tears I cry are through my denial

I’ll tell my lies but only to my-self

Because all you’re interested in is “my health”

These words I speak from the heart

You supported me from the start

Ups and downs we’ve had

But I’ll stop now and say Chris-sie, you’re not bad

Thank you I will say

And as I do, instead I pray

Chrissie
