When I'm down in the dumps And up against a wall Oh God, from afar hear, To Thee, draw me near! When I'm in low spirits Running high and dry Oh God, Look down on me, Lift me up to Thee! When things get out of hand And I'm shot in the legs Oh God, take control, Let me Thy name extol! When I'm too close to tears Beyond any comfort Oh God, hear my cry, On Thee, do I rely! When I step into a miry path And out of Your chosen way Oh God, shine Thy light, Give me Thy foresight! When temptations make me fall And unto Thee I call, Oh God, have mercy on me, And wash my sins off me! -------------------- 17.11.16
