Revelation

The things I've seen
 Over the past few years
 Have only brought despair
 I've seen lies, filth, and greed
 Consume our lives
 And all I can do is stare
 I've seen the darkness in the streets
 Overcoming my sense of innocence
 This is not how I thought this world would be
 This is not what I was raised to believe
 I've seen the darkness inside me
 Sometimes it's the only thing that I see
 I'm running out of things to hope for
 God give me something to hope for
 Jesus reveal your presence to me
 Darkness is all I see
 God give me the strength to believe
 Jesus make known your will for me
 God all I'm asking of you is to bring me something to hope for
 In myself
 I've seen the scum of this Earth
 Overcome the beauty
 I know I'm called to help
 But the path isn't clear to me
 So show me
