Have Faith

Have Faith There Was a Time in My Life When Things Were Very Bad Nothing I Did Seemed Right And I Became More than Sad The Bills I Couldn't Pay And the Groceries I Couldn't Buy Took Me down the Path of Despair I Had No Answer for the Question "Why?" No One I Knew Could Help Me They Had Troubles of Their Own I Didn't Know Where to Turn And Couldn't Even Take out a Loan I Had Reached Rock Bottom And I Knew Complete Despair How Could I Possibly Keep Traveling Down this Road That Led No Where? I Laid down in Bed One Night Drowning in All My Woes Thinking... I Won't Wake up And Not Face this Pain That Grows Then Somewhere Deep Inside I Thought I Heard a Voice And it Said, "Why Don't You Pray? It Would Give You Another Choice?" That Had Never Occurred to Me Maybe I'd Give it a Try Lord Knows Nothing Else Worked And it Wasn't Something to Buy That Night Changed My Life My Troubles Melted Away I Marked down the Time and Date The Night I Learned to Pray So If You Have Big Troubles Oh, I Can Relate to That Remember There Is Help for You.. I Know this for a Fact Connie Moore
