Letra Bear with me Dmx

Bear with me

Heavenly Father, I've been running since I was a child
Been scared of people getting close and eventually walking out
I saw friends take their last breath
That's something I don't like to talk about
So, dear Lord, I'ma open up
I've been feeling pretty lonely
I don't know if I can make it
But I'm fighting back slowly
So let me get this here straight
You already laid Your life down
You already gave Yours up
So I ain't got to take mine now
You walk to Your death and it wasn't quick, and it wasn't painless
And everybody's pointing fingers, but You the only one that's blam?less
It's like I see You looking at me, with my nam? written in Your blood
And You died so I can live
And You did it all out of love
I can't pay You back, but I still give You my all
Help me forgive those that hate me and want to see me fall
And we all miss The Dog, but now his spirit's unleashed
X, speak to our souls, may your words bring us peace

I thank You, Lord, for my birth and everything that's followed
I thank You, Lord, for today and I will pray for tomorrow
I thank You, Lord, for the love of my life and the friend
I made a promise and I'm loving my wife till the end
I thank You, Lord, for Your guidance 'cause it's all that counts
And right here, right now, Lord, this is Your house
I thank You, Lord, for a dream that came true to life
And I ask You to bless everybody in this room tonight
I don't always do the right thing, and I ask You to forgive me
'Cause I need You here with me, without You in my life, it's empty
I think back how some people did me like violence was the remedy
And because I think of that now, I pray for my enemy
Not because of what I do, but because they don't know
There's something better after here, but everybody won't go
So I ask You to forgive them, and we'll hope they see
And I thank You for the love that they've given to me
I will not abuse it, nor will I lead them astray
You see, I love them like children that I see every day
And I pray, You know, we pray together
Get us through the bad weather, and we love You forever
Let Your thought and my heart go hand in hand
I first thought but to start, but I stand a man
And for as long as I can, as long as You permit me
Please give me the strength I need to live, bear with me
