Lyrics
Use Me
Verse 1:
Sittin in my bedroom my life is such a mess. Palms are getting sweaty, heart is pounding in my chest. Lord I wanna change but I don’t know how. I’m trapped inside the limits of my here and now. I know I need some money, keep looking in my pockets. Don’t know if I should call Christ, Buddha, or Muhammad. I’m a second time offender, of this there is no doubt. If they catch a sista slippin it’s the 3rd time I’m out. I know I need a job and I keep feelin out these forms but the systems got me trapped saying my rap sheets just too long. Lord I want to change but I don’t know what to do. Don’t know who I should trust, where do I go, what do I do. Keep telling me that times aren’t as hard as it seems. Well Lord can you give me just a second just to dream? Keep telling me that hard times won’t last always. What I’m I to do when all my hope is gone away I’m sayin
Chorus: Lord can you help me hear my plea. If you can use anything then Father please use me. I’m tired and I’m hurt. But I don’t want to miss so if you never heard a thing then Father please hear this. Lord can you help me hear my plea if you can use anything then Father please use me. I’m tired and I’m hurt but I don’t wanna miss so if you’ve never heard a thing then Father please hear this.
Verse2: Now I’m sitting the courtroom looking at the judge, heart pounding in my chest and jury showing me no love. My mind blanked out on what I did last night, now I’m staring at the judge and facing 25 to life. I’m locked inside my cell, having visions in my head. Lord please help me before I wind up dead. I’m trapped inside these walls, someone else has got my kids. My baby I can’t hold him and he don’t know who I is. My oldest one is begging me crying on the phone. And it’s heard for me to say that mommy wont be coming home. I guess I shouldn’t have sinned but I guess I was thinking bout them. I just never thought that I would have to serve a bid. Now Lord can you help me with this life that I live? Lord can you help me cause something has got to give. Lord can you hear these tears I’m crying in the night? I don’t know what’s happening but my spirit ain’t right I’m cryin
Chorus: Lord can you help me hear my plea if you can use anything then Father please use me. I’m tired and I’m hurt but I don’t wanna miss. If you’ve never heard a thing then Father please hear this
(repeat)
Verse3: Now time has gotten older and I’m up for parole. I wish that I could say that all is well with my soul. See I’ve come a long way from where I used to be. But fears got me wondering if I’m strong enough leave. What you see in me’s a change, but the world see’s my tracks. A nickel bag of weed and a quarter ounce of smack. So God don’t let me get out on the streets. And turn into the person that I used to be. Sometimes I hear him call but the streets are still the same. Resistance running low got me thinking bout the game. To you Lord I surrender and my life is in your hands. But you got to let me know if this is part of your plan. What I really need is prayer, so I sit down on the bed, heart pounding in my chest and put my head down in my hands. Then I heard a voice speak down in my spirit. It set my soul on fire and I want ya’ll to hear it sayin
Chorus: Lord can you help me hear my plea if you can use anything then Father please use me. I’m tired and I’m hurt but I don’t wanna miss. If you never heard a thing then Father please hear this
(repeat)
This is what the Lord said to me, he said
Last verse: Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayers. You thought I wasn’t listening but believe me I was there. See I heard your call, and baby that’s a fact. The time’s you didn’t see me is when I had you on my back he said I brought you out of trouble but you went back in. If you want me to forgive you got to turn away from sin. Got to give up all those crazy things that you used to do. Like midnight conversations hangin with your old crew. And when satan comes arou
