This is a song about restoration. Sevin is praying that God can renew him and restore him to the best version of himself for the utmost glory of God.
It’s a long walk
I gotta get to the messiah though
I lift my hands to you in prayer
I thirst for you (Best)
As parched land in thirst for rain (Best)
Jesus please help me
Make me the best that I can be for you
Cuz I’m ready to go all in
Come quickly Lord and answer me
Before my depression deepens
Don’t turn away from me or I will die
Let me hear your unfailing love each morning
For I am trusting you
Show me where to walk
For I give myself to you
[Verse 1: Sevin]
Half the time I say I do my best
We both know that’s a lie
I say that to pacify the truth about my active eye
Cuz it wants everything
It’s every dreamer's act to fly
But I know that hell comes with that wealth
I need your help to pass it by
I’m a misfit
I’m bound to greed I need to sacrifice
But I’m a shift kit without the D
Yeah I lack the drive
At that well you told that woman she won’t thirst again
Well I’m hurting and I’m cursed within
Please help me out this hearse I’m in
It starts inside the heart so I know I commit the worst of sins
I need spend more time in prayer
Than out here in search for friends
Stuck inside the same cycle like I’m tied to a merry go
It’s sickenin how quickly we say we love a God we barely know
We say that He is royalty but loyalty we rarely show
I don’t shine the light of Christ
My life’s more like Harry O
I will turn my back on friends if in the end I’m back with you
But I can do nothing on my own strength
That’s why I’m asking you to
[Chorus: Sevin]
Jesus please help me
Make me the best that I can be
For you
Cause I’m ready to go all in
Jesus please help me
Make me the best that I can be
For you
Cause I’m ready to go all in
[Verse 2: Sevin]
Yeah
And I was told that half the effort only gets you half the prize
But that ain’t right because mane it’s all or nothing in the afterlife
The bible says pride comes before destruction and the wretched fall
Why even stress to cater to some flesh that won’t progress at all
Huh cuz if all is lost and fallen off then all is vain
Mazel Tov I toast to the Holocaust
We all in pain
Nothing separates us all this hatred is just evidence that
He is God and we did fall
We have been flawed every since
I’m looking at myself these days
Trying to stay away from sin
I fortified my house and yet
Somehow it still keeps breaking in
Do I need the company I keep
Or is it me that’s chasing them?
I’m so frustrated
I escape then go back and let Satan in
He’s risen He has given me the victory
Let’s face it then
The truth is if I lose it’s cuz I choose it
I let Satan win
To live is Christ to die is gain
Life is pain and I am stained
Reaching for a higher plane
My sight ain’t changed
Christ remains
[Chorus: Sevin]
Jesus please help me
Make me the best that I can be
For you
Cause I’m ready to go all in
Jesus please help me
Make me the best that I can be
For you
Cause I’m ready to go all in
[Prayer: Sevin]
Rescue me from my enemies Lord
I run to you to hide me
Teach me to do your will for you are my God
May your gracious spirit lead me forward
On a firm footing
For the glory of Your Name oh Lord
Preserve my life
Because of your faithfulness bring me out of distress
And your unfailing love silence all my enemies and destroy my foes
For I am Your servant
Amen
I’m almost there
