It’s easy to be discouraged,
to be down and out
it’s not hard to wear a frown
or put on a pout.
It’s easy to be disheartened,
to be faint and weary
it’s not hard to cry out
through eyes that are teary.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed,
to be feeling forsaken
it’s not hard to lose focus
when your world is shaken.
It’s easy to be troubled,
to be worried and fearful
it’s not to hard to forget
to be joyous and cheerful.
But, we can find peace,
amidst all of our suffering
when to God we go . . .
for courage and comforting!
~~~~~~~~~
Have mercy upon me,
O Lord,
for I am in trouble:
mine eye is consumed
with grief, yea,
my soul and my belly.
