Do Not Despair

Don't throw your life away my friend
God has a plan for you
Come to Him just as you are
And see what He can do.

Why not take time out my friend
And have a chat to Him
And share with Him your aches and pains
And all the mess your in.

Don't throw your life away my friend
God has a plan for you
Come to Him just as you are
And see what He can do.

He isn't here to condemn you friend
Or strike you from above
He longs to hold you in His arms
And fill you with His love.

Don't throw your life away my friend
God has a plan for you
Come to Him just as you are
And see what He can do.

This world can be a lonely place
When all hope inside is gone
So why not take time out my friend
Stop singing that suicide song.

Don't throw your life away my friend
God has a plan for you
Come to Him just as you are
And see what He can do.

The value of your life to God
Is so precious I have to say
He gave to you the gift of life
Don't throw it all away.
