Trust

 

When you've lost your zest for living,
And no one seems to care
Life seems to go on without you
It's more than you can bear.

You can not make the grade alone,
It's much steeper than you think
You need extra strength from somewhere,
For you're almost on the brink.

So after trying everything,
And you've come to your wit's end
Turn your downcast eyes heavenward,
And meet a faithful friend.

A sincere prayer for just a moment,
Can create such a change
The burden gets much lighter
And you can breathe with ease again.

Amid the stress of earthly life,
That taxes one so great
You really need to only,
Pray, fear not, and simply wait.

Christ gave His life to save us,
For our sins He did atone
Trust in the Lord, do not despair
God does not forsake His own.
