Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

And inspired by God

As I stumble through the darkness in the valley of death

Please shine your guiding light upon my crooked steps

And lead me to the path where your grace and mercy is felt

My soul hungers for what’s right, but I’m fed by what’s left.

The stress on my chest is heavy like a necklace made of stone

So, I humble myself to you as I bow before your throne

Begging you to spare my life today, because hell would be my home

If I fold my hands I will starve, but I can eat if I do wrong.

Many people have misjudged...
