Bailey Staggs - Dear God

Sitting here alone, writing by candlelight
Sometimes wanting to give up the fight
God, please help me to understand
How it is, on my feet I never land
All I have, to you'll I give
In your Spirit, I always want to live
With all that ends up to be this way
Its difficult to keep my faith, day to day
I feel so broken and lost right now
So please, God, just show me how
I try so hard not to lose sight of you
But it seems I lose at everything I do
My marriage you took me out of
You gave him another woman to love
My one true love, I thought I had
Till, once again, that one went bad
Another I found that got me through
But as most, apart we quickly grew
Now you've give the greatest I've ever known
But even he, cannot be my own
I cannot figure out, what I've done so bad
To have to walk through life, so miserable and sad
Please take my pain and wash it away
For at your feet, my troubles, I lay
Take my anger and my guilt
On your foundation, I truly want to be built
Worship and praise, to you I give
Because, in you, is where I want to live
No longer my old life do I ever want back
My faith in you I no longer want to lack.
