God Saw My Distress and Healed Me Part 2

Oh God, I wish…I wish I could tackle these hardships
I taste happiness for a change…
It’s very, very strange
This feeling smothers me…
I know God has helped countless people in the bible…
And he has straightened me up…and He clothed me with His love
But, He’s way up above…
I know He could see me…and I hope to make Him pleased
He has put my soul at ease...
And please excuse me as I have a chat with God
God has seen my distress and healed me
Oh boy, I’m very content with Him around
He has placed me in the Lost and Found
Box and I’ve been found
And I feel that I belong for once
Tree branches twist and turn right before my eyes
Could you untwist the knot…please don’t whisper lies
Depression is like a bunch of flies,
Hovering around you…swap it or move away from them
Before you get attacked…don’t be the victim
Of shame like I was…keep pressing on…
Seek first God’s Kingdom and honor the son…
Glance at the sun…and feel its rays…
I don’t want this night to end…the hours have its ways
Of pushing me below the surface…
However, God has granted me happiness
Not sadness…that Satan tries to throw at me
Possibly, there’s a way to swim away from the churning sea
I soak in information that doesn’t have a value
If only you knew…if only you knew
The struggles I’ve been encountering
But, God knows everything and I’m left clueless
But, I shouldn’t lose hope in Him…though, at times I feel so hopeless
I am growing out of my shell…
Things are starting to ring a bell
Oh man…there’s times when I feel like my growth process stops all of the sudden
I’m like a caterpillar,
Developing into an angelic, blue striped and green spotted butterfly
I believe that I’ve lost my mind…
I’m frozen in place…I’m watching the time unwind
Yet, I won’t give up on you, brother
You listen to me, like no other
