Story behind the song
My Song, My Plea by Richard Shekari is a spirit-borne prayer set to musica cry for Gods mercy, strength, and guidance in a world filled with fleeting desires and inner battles. Through intimate verses and a soaring chorus, it reflects on weakness, surrender, and the desperate need for the Fathers presence. A deeply personal yet universal song of faith, hope, and worship.
Lyrics
My Song, My Plea
Intro:
If You turn away, Ill fall apart;
I need Your hands to tame my heart.
Verse 1:
I see the world, its fleeting lies,
Desires burning, they blind my eyes.
Ive felt the pull, Ive seen the cost,
One step away and I am lost.
But where I stumble, You remain,
A steady love through all my pain.
Your kindness breaks my hardened will,
Your whisper calms the storm within.
Chorus:
Hold me, Father, keep me near,
Guard my soul from the flames I fear.
My life is Yours, my song, my plea,
Without Your presence, theres no me.
Verse 2:
Ive carried anger I couldnt tame,
A restless fire I tried to blame.
The world has pulled my heart astray,
But You still called me anyway.
A son of struggle, scarred and weak,
Yet in Your mercy, strength I seek.
When I am lost, You make me whole,
Your gentle hand restores my soul. *Chorus*
Bridge:
If You are silent, my hope is gone,
Your absence leaves me with no song.
But with You close, I find my peace,
Your endless mercy, my release.
Take what is left of all my days,
Ill lift them high in endless praise.
Ill spend my days in worship true,
Forever Lord, Ill sing for You. *Chorus*
