Open My Heart

Open My Heart

I guess we all hurt sometimes/ so I find myself

takin' it one day at a time ya' know/ Cause' ain't nothin'

easy about this life here/ I must seek my Source/ One day

at a time y'all

Nothing in this world will ever be peaches and

cream/ That's just in everyday living not mentioning

spiritual things/ I get sick and tired of hard times/ It's hard

to renew my mind/ Hard to put the past behind when ya'

feelin' blind/ I grew up seeing the same ol' murdas/ Same

ol' thugs in the same ol' swervas/ Sometimes I was afraid

to walk through the 'hood/ I know we say it but ain't all

good I'm keeping it real/ My daddy came home he was

robbed/ Mom on disability and daddy lost his job/ So where

that leave me at?/ I go to school wit dirty shoes and wack

ball caps/ I'm in the hall catchin' all laughs/ I'm tryin' to

stay focused 'cause this locust is real/ Went to kick it but

my homie got killed/ I'm under all pressure/ The Lord

blessed a young ghetto child like Flame/ I'm still living

through the sufferin' and pain

Lord I know that you already love me/ And you want

me to walk by my faith/ But it's hard for me to see you when

there's no good around/ So I need you to open my heart so

I can love you more/ (While I'm livin' I'mma give you my

all)(3x)

It kinda makes me laugh cause it's been a long

time comin'/ Messed up so many times but yet I'm still

growin'/ See it hurt when my grandmother died/ I'm in the

hospital room over her bed lookin' her in the eyes/ She

always said go to church and serve the Lord/ And put Him

first over everything especially money and cars/ She had a

major impact on who I am now/ Bowin' down worshipin'

and sending praises up loud/ But yet she's gone and the

same bad things are going on/ It's hard for lil' Flame to stay

strong but yet I hold on/ Life is so short we only passing

through/ Able to catch you a laugh or two/ I seen a lady

last week gettin' beat down/ And thirteen year old girls

gettin' freaked down/ Now you can tell we in the last days/

The world has turned away from God now we livin' in our

own ways/ Since I have been saved the death angel has

passed over/ My down was covered by the blood straight

from Jehovah/ See I'm grateful/ For the way of escape

from bein' hateful/ The dollar doesn't make you/ Power

doesn't make you/ I have seen it all nothin' new under the

sun/ He made a way out so I had to run/ I'm tired of

poverty/Ghetto areas and trife livin'/ I'm tryin to elevate to

Christ livin/ His righteous life we livin' come on

Who else can fill the void straight from all the love

that I lost/ Except the One who shed all his blood at the

cross/ I didn't ask to be born into this world at all/ But

through God's grace I was created to praise God/ But it

gets really hard/ I was born right into sin/ I was headed for

hell before my life even began/But since I'm here now

through Christ I'll make the best of it/ I trust God so I'll let

him do the rest/How else could I have peace in this life of

crime/ How else could I have peace when the battle's in

my mind/ How else could I have peace with a broken heart/

I wish it was the end like Noah's ark/ It'll be all over/ No

more pain no more sufferin'/ No more games no more

thuggin' no more hustlin'/ I praise God for eternal life the

Mediator/ Who gave the ultimate sacrifice/ And we call

him Jesus Christ!

(While I'm livin' I'mma give you my all) (7x) I want to

love you Jesus/ I want to love you love you/ I want to know

you yeah yeah yeah/ Ooh Jesus/ I want to know you know

you/ So will you open my heart so I can love you/ More

(2x)/ Said I wanna be more like you yes/ Said I wanna know

how you talked and how you walked/ Step by step I'll get

there/ If you just hold my hand/ And show me the way (2x)
