To that person whose tired and exhausted from trying to do it on their own, Nerva drops “Dear Lord”. Referencing 1 John 1:9, Dear Lord is a song that points to the solution (surrendering to God instead of running from Him), saying, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our s...

When it's hard to stand I get on my knees and pray
I pray unto the Lord please wipe the tears away
If it's part of the plan, I know it's worth the pain
Cause If Gods in it, I know I'll be ok
You told me if tomorrow comes it'll be a brighter day
And not to worry bout it count ya blessings everyday
You told me that you got me sometimes i just gotta wait
And not to walk by what I see you but just keep holding the faith
Verse 1
Dear Lord please forgive me for my sins
I know I tend to fall short over again
I know that I ain't perfect still you faithful to forgive
And just to keep it real I don't deserve this grace you give
See I done hurt so many people done so many people wrong
Hurt people hurt people so I pray for hurt souls
To anyone who hurt me I forgive so I'm forgiven
And I pray they do the same cause unforgiveness is a prison
How can I love God if I hate my brother
Who I can see and can't see God, we gotta love each other
If I love those who love me then what reward that?
Lord help me love my enemies though they attack
To lay one life down for a friend, theres no greater love
I see the battles that I face is not with flesh and blood
Need the whole armour of God when wickedness comes
To be wise as a serpent, but gentle as a dove

I can't let negativity get the best of me
Cause all it do is fill my heart with animosity
Then I bring it home and argue with my family
Lord I give it to you now before it harms me

Verse 2
Sometimes it's hard to see the blessings when the storm in the way
Waiting on the sun to shine sitting in a dark place
Anybody reaching goals bound to have a bad day
When I feel like quitting Lord help me keep the faith
It ain't easy but I trust that you're the light and you're the way
You told me whatever I face, has an expiration date
I go wrong when I think that I can handle all the weight
A mans strength only goes so far until he breaks
If having faith also means having faith in your time
I might suffer for a little but you heal in due time
It's not about me it's Gods glory not mine
Need a little bit of darkness just to help my light shine
So much pain in my country it'll make you wanna cry
But it isn't wise to be wise in my own eyes
Cause My own understanding ain't enough to get me by
Your ways and your thoughts are much higher than mines

Outro
Dear Lord Dear Lord I can't do this by myself
When I feel like giving up remind me you ain't finish yet
Remind me you will never leave me not one day you ever left
Don't know what I'd do without you can't rely on no one else
