By Your Side

There are things in our lives that happen
That can cause us to run and hide
But there's a strength that runs right through us
‘cause Jesus is by our side.

He’s always there when times are tough
And when the times are good
We should remember to pull our strength from Him
Because He says we always should.

He gives us the power to overcome
He opens our eyes to see
What it is our lives are now
And what our lives should be.

Our time is only temporary
As we walk upon this earth
He’s been guiding our lives to be the best we can
From the time of our own birth.

So, find some happiness within yourself
‘cause you know how hard you’ve tried
Then, take peace in knowing the Lord is here
And that He’s standing right by your side.

Roger, thank you for embracing this poem... I much love it, very much.... Happiness starts within the heart. We can't just dump it on someone and expect for it to sit by our side... it will arrive when it should. God's light stands where it should always... Goodnight...Linda
