There's a groaning in the pit of my stomach
There's a pleading down deep in my soul
If I did not see in my spirit
I could have said Lord I was not told
Oh My Lord, please have mercy on the innocent soul
Many dead and still dying on the road
Lord please hear my cries
Hear me please Lord please hear me before I die
Should I turn my eyes away
My spirit will haunt me night and day
Hear the cries of those on crack
They do not know it's you that is calling them back
I see that one in the gutter Lord
It could have been me with my mind full of clutter
What about that one with dark thoughts of depression
Release their minds from demonic delusions
Merciful Lord you walked this earth before
You came down here you heard, you saw
We all need your help Lord
What they did to you they are still doing and more
Now there is more sophisticated weapons of mental torture
Now we got satellite TV, radio and Internet
We got cameras, soap operas and news reporters
Everything man can conceive to twist our minds in a net
Many are lost in a dark world of pornography closing in on them
You came to pave the way for us
We are still blinded by our own lust
Soon many will return to the dust
Not having accomplished what they should have
They did not see the gifts inside them because of the dark
Oh shine your light sweet Jesus, shine your light inside us
Pull us out of the gutter our minds need to be cleaned up from all the clutter
Many oh many are lost on their way to hell
Most don't believe what you said
My heart is hurting Lord
How much longer should I pray?
Why should the innocent pay?
The sins of the fathers and mothers I am seeing Lord
Playing out in the lives of the innocent children oh my God!
The trees are bearing bad fruit, many are eating and getting ill from unrighteousness
Not knowing it's the seeds their parents sowed in drunkeness and blindness
Help the innocent Lord, they need to know there is a way out of this darkness
I am a wife, mother, sister, aunty, niece, cousin and friend
You are the one I met on the road with all the turns and bends
I pray I meet up with you again, this time in a place of peace that knows no end
With lots of love
