I Tried To Help the Best Way I Could

>center>I Tried To Help The Best Way I Could…

I tried to help others the best way I could.
Though many times I was misunderstood.

I tried to help some “get back on their feet.”
I knew that with God’s help, they’d be complete!

I remember the many times people weren’t thankful.
There were a lot who weren’t at all grateful!

The many times I’d travel on the road…
And share with others who had a “heavy load.”

I think about when Jesus was here and healed so many.
But those who thanked him...  There were hardly any!

It’s often difficult to do what Jesus wants us to do.
You just never know what others “are up to.”

No matter how much you try to share in love.
Often people are waiting to give you “a shove.”

I know that God knows your heart.  Just do your best!
No matter what others say...  
God will take care of the rest!

Together, let’s share God’s love as he commands…
And spread his good news throughout the land!

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
Any problems or worries?  Just “put beneath him!”

With God’s help, let’s keep trying to reach out…
This is what Christ’ love in action is all about!

Look at the kindness of Christ...  Our friend!
He is what life is about and gives hope within!
