Flame - Open My Heart lyrics
rate me
(feat. J.R.) [Intro] 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 [Verse One] 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 [Chorus - 3X] 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'm a give you my all) [Verse Two] 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 [Chorus - 2X] 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'm a give you my all) [Verse Three] 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! [Chorus] (While I'm livin' I'm a 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)
