One of my favorite songs to play (Katie will even tell you that she's heard way too much of this one). I finished this song while sitting by myself on a beach in Mexico so I'll always have that memory with this one. Just a little acoustic guitar song with a great promise.

Lyrics:
Verse 1: Be gracious to me for I am weak
Heal me Jehovah
For my bones are tired, my soul is weak
How long, how long
Chorus: Return to me, merciful God
Heal me by Your love
Return to me, merciful God
How long, how long
Verse 2: I am worn out from the pain of this world
I cry in my bed at night
My eyes grow tired from sorrow and grief
How long, how long
Verse 3: Depart from me iniquity
The Lord heard my crying
He's answered my prayer, He's given me hope
He's heard, He's heard
Verse 1: Be gracious to me for I am weak
Heal me Jehovah
For my bones are tired, my soul is weak
How long, how long
Chorus: Return to me, merciful God
Heal me by Your love
Return to me, merciful God
How long, how long
Verse 2: I am worn out from the pain of this world
I cry in my bed at night
My eyes grow tired from sorrow and grief
How long, how long
Verse 3: Depart from me iniquity
The Lord heard my crying
He's answered my prayer, He's given me hope
He's heard, He's heard
Psalm 6:2-4 & 6-9: "Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long? Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer."
In process...I counted the other day and I have 26 songs written so far...just need to keep recording. Hopefully will have time during my vacation over the holidays to at least record a few more.
