Revelation - Altars

The things I’ve seen

Over the past few years

Have only brought despair

I’ve seen lies, filth, and greed

Consume our lives

And all I can do is stare

I’ve seen the darkness in the streets

Overcoming my sense of innocence

This is not how I thought this world would be

This is not what I was raised to believe

I’ve seen the darkness inside me

Sometimes it’s the only thing that I see

I’m running out of things to hope for

God give me something to hope for

Jesus reveal your presence to me

Darkness is all I see

God give me the strength to believe

Jesus make known your will for me

God all I’m asking of you is to bring me something to hope for

In myself

I’ve seen the scum of this Earth

Overcome the beauty

I know I’m called to help

But the path isn’t clear to me

So show me
