There were times (Would you Lord)

I know I'm not suppose to write any songs being busy with uni and exams but I couldn't help it. I kept hearing tunes in my head. Wrote this last night. I'm not much of a lyrics person but this is what I came up with. It joins into 'Would you Lord'.
Hope you enjoy it =)
I'll upload the video on youtube in 24 hours. Just click on the title.

There were times (would you Lord) - Lorraine Chai

There were times when life was simple
There were times when it was not
In this great big universe of ours
Things would never be so perfect
There are places full of suffering
People feeling scared and hurt
And all I could ever think about is slavery and war.

Ohhh Jesus, You held my hand
Ohhh Jesus, You have a plan for me to do what’s right
To make a difference in this world

There were times I’d feel so worthless
Being handicapped in this world
Losing loved ones in battle
Giving up after every failure
There is more through life than this
Would you feed us the bread of life?
And let us drink the living water
So we’d have everlasting life

There are many things I’d wish for
And many things I’d hold on to
I’d keep finding the key of truth
To open my heart out to the world
There are many things I’d think about
And many won’t understand
Hoping things would be simpler
Keeping an open mind and wonder….

Ohhh Jesus, You held my hand
Ohhh Jesus, You have a plan for me to do what’s right
To make a difference in this world
Would your love bring me home?

Would you Lord, Take a look at our hands
Everything we had, Use if for your plan
Would you lord, take a look at our hearts
Mold it; refine it, as you set us apart

We want to come to the altar and catch the fire
To stand in the gap between the living and the dead
Give us a heart of compassion
For a world without vision
We will make a difference
Bringing hope to our Land

And I’ll offer out my shoulder for others to cry on
There are millions still searching for your treasure
There were times when I felt lost
Like a lost sheep from the herd
You led your people across the red sea
Freeing them from slavery

We want to come to the burning bush
And catch on the fire
Standing in the gap between what’s right and what is wrong
Give us a heart of compassion
For a world without vision
For we will make a difference
Bringing hope to this world.
