Discouraged

When trials seems to want to show up And life’s headaches makes you want to throw your hands up Jesus says don’t be discouraged you are not in despaired When you are tired of always going through a test Always your life in such a big fat mess Jesus says don’t be discouraged come to me I’ll give you rest When people want to try and keep you down Not willing to lift your spirits up, you frown Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m always around When you think everyone has turned their backs on you And you just don’t know what in the world to do Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m here to guide you through When you feel alone got no more strength to stand Feeling your feet sinking in the sand Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m here holding your hand When folks don’t want to give you your respect And you know in your heart you’re doing you’re very best Jesus says don’t be discouraged lay your head upon my chest When satan is doing nothing more than to steal, kill and destroy You don’t think life you’ll ever enjoy Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m going to restore When putting one foot in front of the other And you find that you can’t put hope in another Jesus says don’t be discouraged I am your brother When satan tries to steal your joy away Trying real hard to keep your spirits at bay Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m just a pray away So when the trials of life have you spinning all around Keep your head up and don’t look down And remember Jesus says don’t be discouraged Because I am here to keep you encouraged! Hebrews 12: 5-6 ….My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuke by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens.
