So Now You Choose To Pray?

by Midnight Sun

You live your life day by day
In any way you'd like
You claim to be independent
...Until disaster strikes

You hit your knees on the floor
Bowing your head in shame
You know you don't deserve the help
But ask all the same

"God, I know I'm not good to you
And I give you barely any time
But I'm asking for assistance now
That can hardly be a crime."

"I know I run from responsibility
And I've been in the foxhole much too long
For this I'm truly sorry
But I need you now, for me to be strong."

So His mercy is bestowed once more
And this trial soon disappears
So once again you forget Him
Until something else strikes fear

You live your life on your own
From Him you've learned to stray
You hardly ever think of Him
And now you choose to pray?
