Song Description

"My Song, My Plea" by Richard Shekari is a spirit-borne prayer set to music--a cry for God's mercy, strength, and guidance in a world filled with fleeting desires and inner battles.

Lyrics

My Song, My Plea

Intro:
If You turn away, I'll fall apart;
I need Your hands to tame my heart.

Verse 1:
I see the world, its fleeting lies,
Desires burning, they blind my eyes.
I've felt the pull, I've seen the cost,
One step away and I am lost.

But where I stumble, You remain,
A steady love through all my pain.
Your kindness breaks my hardened will,
Your whisper calms the storm within.

Chorus:
Hold me, Father, keep me near,
Guard my soul from the flames I fear.
My life is Yours, my song, my plea,
Without Your presence, there's no me.

Verse 2:
I've carried anger I couldn't tame,
A restless fire I tried to blame.
The world has pulled my heart astray,
But You still called me anyway.

A son of struggle, scarred and weak,
Yet in Your mercy, strength I seek.
When I am lost, You make me whole,
Your gentle hand restores my soul. *Chorus*

Bridge:
If You are silent, my hope is gone,
Your absence leaves me with no song.
But with You close, I find my peace,
Your endless mercy, my release.

Take what is left of all my days,
I'll lift them high in endless praise.
I'll spend my days in worship true,
Forever Lord, I'll sing for You. *Chorus*
