Change - 2

I like for things to stay the same But changes come and I always exclaim “Jesus, Help me – I pray in Your name… Guide me past the worry and shame” I miss the way things used to be When I was young, alive and free Joy rising in my heart, I agree This was the time of miracles for me I long for those moments of hope Knowing Jesus would help me to cope With sorrows that caused me to grope In fear, feeling like I was hung on a rope Refrain: Darkness dims my soul’s view With colors black and blue Reminders that I always knew Without Him, I can’t face the new Changes like this are often burning Dread and doubt are there, churning Reminding me of the shift as I’m turning From the familiar to the alien, undiscerning Worries reflect my worries and strife As I tremble with fear from their knife Will I ever find hope in this new life Where I struggle to adapt despite rife Time presses me forward into the new Guiding me to believe in the joy that grew With a prayer answered by the One who Loves me like His child, with a love so true
