A Better Way

Somedays when life has me all beat up And drives me to my knees And theres no one to console me I find comfort, Lord, in thee You say you'll never leave me, And by faith alone i believe That you will deliver me from madness Before i become decieved The lie of Satan says im worth nothing A loser with no hope at all But God says im a child of the kingdom And on him i choose to call Theres been times ive wandered on my own Just to have things my own way And God just smiles and lets me go, Knowing i'll come back to him someday So when life decides to beat on me And i suffer the enemies ploys I know my God has greater for me So now i count it all as joy

You are so right. God never leaves us. We are the ones that stray. Thanks for sharing this with us. Lucilla

Ohh, so love it. He is so GRAND, isn't he? He is so merciful even when we strayed away from Him, He still called us back. Awesome write, Carl. Have a great New Year!
