People are always asking me How can you smile all the time? Have you no problems? Not one bill? Sure I do….of every kind! I owe more than I’ll ever make I smoke and cannot quit… I’m overweight …can’t lose enough To wear new clothes that fit!! I’ve never purchased a single thing Without juggling the cost I worry about my youngest son And fear his brother may be lost! My daughter and I have issues She doesn’t seem to like me much She has a child of her own But no urge to keep in touch!! My eyes are bad, my temper’s short Sometimes my house seems way too small I’m smack in the middle of “the change” And I’ve no patience left at all!! So to think I have no problems Would most certainly be wrong!! But I have Someone in my corner That keeps me going strong!! Every time life knocks me down And I’ve faced troubled, stormy seas? I’ve noticed I always seem to land Not on my feet….but on my knees!! And as long as I was down there? I’d take the time to ask the Father For the strength to try it all again Though I try not to be a bother!! I’d say, “Lord? I know You’re busy And I hate to be a pest? But I’ve done all that I can do You’ll have to do the rest!” And sure enough, before too long An answer would roll around… A job, some money, a place to live? Whatever I needed would be found!! I ‘m never hesitant about believing That the Lord will help me out!! With all my faith and trust in Him? There simply isn’t room for doubt! Now I’ve heard some yell “I found Jesus!! And that’s worth any cost!!!” I’m sure it is…but as for me? I hadn’t heard that He was lost!!! He is where He’s always been In every soul and denomination… Ready to help….just waiting for Your heartfelt invitation!! See my Grandma taught me long ago God’s up to any earthly task…. And the reason some don’t receive His help? Is cause they never think to ask!!! And that is what I’ve always done It’s why each new day’s such a treat!! Trouble doesn’t slow me down Because my Sponsor can’t be beat!! So if the odds are all against you Searching for a level track? Reach up!!! It’s hard to be depressed When you know Jesus has your back!! Dusty august 2006 |
