My Lord You are my only refuge, salvation and respite

O my Lord,
Save my soul from crushing,
Save me from the ghouls that consume,
Save my mind from the thoughts that trouble,
Save me from the suffering that ensues.
Let my tears be my respite,
My wrongdoings are causing my plight.
If each tear drop was salvation,
I'd stay up all night and weep in prostration,
Seeking forgiveness for all that has been done.
Forgive me for drifting apart,
I knew all along what appeases the heart,
Show me the right path once more,
This time I promise I won't let go.
Exalt me in my trials,
Reward me in my tribulations,
Salvage me from what I've become,
Relieve me from the things that have been done.
Give me the strength to once again start,
Without demons from the past tearing me apart.
Show me the light that had once filled my life,
Guide me by the hand, I am ready for the strife;
Better strive for You my Creator,
Than for the creations that never could compensate,
The love, the tenderness, the emotions that You had given me innate.
To You we belong and to You shall we return,
Let me not myself in sorrow drown,
Let me hold on to that fighting chance before the sun goes down.
There's nothing to do, nowhere to go from here,
I must...must persevere.
Shameful, sorry and wounded I come before You on this cold winter night,
I know my Lord  You are my only refuge, salvation and respite.
