Genres: Drama,It hasn't been a bed of roses
Since I've started on my way
And, Lord you know I'm not complaining
There's just something I should say
For I've reached desperation
And I've stumbled since my start
I've grown weary through the years
Now I'm crying bitter tears
From the depths of my heart
From the depths of my heart
Lord, I'm calling out to you
For I need you here to lead me
I've done all that I can do
Lord I'm trying to do my part
To see that others make it through
And though I know I don't deserve you
Still I'm trying hard to serve you
From the depths of my heart
It's not a prayer just from the lips
It goes much deeper than the words
It's not a worthless expression
I just need to be heard
For Lord I need to reach your throne
I know exactly what I'll do
I'm just gonna fall down on my knees
I know you will hear the pleas
From the depths of my heart
From the depths of my heart
Lord I'm calling out to you
For I need you here to lead me
I've done all that I can do
Lord I'm trying to do my part
To see that others make it through
And though I know I don't deserve you
Still I'm trying hard to serve you
From the depths of my heart
And though I know I don't deserve you
Still I'm trying hard to serve you
From the depths of my heart
Of my heart
