with open arms
with open arms
i welcome death
still my heart
and stop my breath
lay me down
in a bed of dirt
no more pain
and no more hurt
God transport me
to heaven above
into Your glory
light and love

no one knows
no one knows
no one cares
and so it goes
dirt to dust
die i must
in obscurity
no one to
remember me
no one to
ever recall
for i was
nothing at all

i would rather
i would
rather be
not me
but possibly
somebody
who has
had it easy
growing up
in money
never going
hungry
not knowing
misery
not beaten
terribly
nor abused
horribly
to be
somebody
who grew
up happy
who was
raised lovingly
i would
rather be
not me

i do not feel the loss
i do not feel the loss of
that which i did not love
i can not expect to miss
your lips i did not kiss
i have no memory of
you giving me your love
it's easy to let fade
that which i never made
it's easy to let go
of that which i did not know
knowing you never knew
knowing me loving you
knowing i will never be
known in you memory

you who
you who
never knew
poverty
or what it's
like to be
hungry
to have holes
in your shoes
in the rain
or the pain
of children
at school
being cruel
making fun
of you
for making do
with clothes
that were too
small for you
that have
a hole or two
or that are worn
and maybe torn
hand me downs
that made
the rounds
you who
never knew
what it's like to
have parents who
never loved you
who didn't care
who were
never there
for you
to turn to
who
would beat you
and treat you
like thrash
call you names
and tell you
to hell with you
and say to you
would be glad to
have never had you
you who
never knew
who could tell you
about the hell you
never knew
that i had to
live through
you who
have no
empathy
or sympathy
you only
despise me
criticize me
and hate me
yet i pray
for you
because
the day for you
is ahead of you
and hopefully
not dead to you

let die
let die
sinful i
let there be
less of me
let depart
my evil heart
let go
all i know
let me learn
to discern
God's will
to fulfill
God's way
to obey
may i cease
and God increase
this I pray
everyday
