Hear me pray
Heavenly Father
To get through this day
Lord and savior
You only give me
What I can take
I am grateful
For health and strength
And I thank you
I thank you for this day
They're coming to take me away
Coming to take me away
Oh, Lord
And all I ask
All I ask is
Whatever happens now
Let it be your will

I wrote this song about a "suspect" in an interrogation video. He was unhoused, addicted to drugs. Another unhoused man stole $40, which was all he had. The "suspect" hit the second man, causing a traumatic brain injury. In the video, the police officer wins the man's trust to get a confession, which he readily provides, then abruptly informs him that the victim is about to be taken off life support. She says, "You killed him. We're charging you with murder." She walks out, leaving him alone in the little room. The man sits slumped in his chair, quietly crying. Then he gets up, turns his face to the ceiling, and prays. This is his prayer.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Thanks for listening
You are amazing, Paula!
Thanks, Justin!
