Broke and Broken
Dear Lord, help me hang on and give me
what I need to make it through the day.
For some reason I am broken
by too many things that came my way.

All I ever wanted to do was have a job,
some peace and a loving family.
But that's not what happened
sad things came many a day.

I really don't think that it was my fault
except that all humans sin.
Lord, I'm sorry for that
I pray I get going again.

That's about all there is, Lord,
we get up and go to work somehow.
May I ask You, Lord, to heal all of us
with Your touch and I pray for it now.
