Couplet's of My Faith

When I thought I was lost and condemned for my sin,
I held fast to my faith despite this place I'm in.

When rain of turmoil would shower me,
I thought of God and His promises of joy in eternity.

When things weren't going my way that particular day,
I would get on my knees and to Jesus I would pray.

When my momma passed and I felt I couldn't go on,
I thought of her unconditional love and knew I wasn't spiritually alone.

So when I'm feeling emotionally down I keep my eye to the sky.
I walk with determination with my head held high!
