I Will Survive

Why do I feel sad?
At times I’m filled with anger,
Depression fills my heart,
Fear fills my mind,
Worry surrounds me.
I search for joy,
I long for peace,
I look for comfort,
I need to feel love.
Seems when I move forward
Something happens,
Something changes
Sends me backwards.
I try to trust my Father,
His plan for me,
I try to believe.
But then things happen
I do not understand.
Then I fall and fear overcomes me.
I run, afraid, angry.
I cannot find my way,
His path for me I am lost on.
I call out, “Help me Lord!”
Then He comes to me
His hands, they reach down to me.
He picks me up, carries me back,
Back to the path I belong.
Look to Him
Keep my eyes on Him,
Hold His hand.
With Him I shall stand,
What ever shall befall me,
Will not harm me.
I will survive!
