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
