When things go bad,
And you dont know why;
You just keep on falling,
No matter how hard you try.
*****
You meditate and analyze,
But just cant figure out;
And its becoming quite clear,
Youve lost another bout.
*****
You looked up high,
And searched down low;
But away from trouble,
Youve nowhere to go.
*****
Youve laid down rules,
And made good plans;
But still it keeps slipping,
Right through your hands.
*****
It seems so right,
When youre at the start;
And youre almost there,
When it all falls apart.
*****
You ask yourself,
Where did I go wrong;
Im a misfit in life,
I just dont belong.
*****
But alone we go,
Because we know it all;
And easily forget,
Who made mountains so tall.
*****
But who needs him,
When I got me?
We boast of ourselves,
And are too blind to see.
*****
How dumb we are,
To continue to fail;
When He wrote the book,
On how to prevail.
*****
He is the way,
The truth and the light;
But onward we march,
Blind in the night.
*****
Why cant we believe,
And quit planning our days,
And ask the Lord Jesus,
To show us His ways.
