It’s hard to be joyful,
with uprisings everyday
it’s difficult to see
so many on the wide way.
It’s hard to be happy,
with wars happening
it’s hard to listen to
different sides arguing.
It’s hard to be elated,
as the world is being rocked
it’s tough to be positive
when your beliefs get knocked.
It’s hard to be jubilant,
with so many people dying
it’s hard to believe
the untruthful and the lying.
It’s not easy to be joyful,
when the world’s falling apart
and so I pray dear Lord . . .
bring peace into my heart!
~~~~~~~~
Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and
uphold me with thy free spirit.
For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes,
in divers places.
These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
