Not All Smiles Are Equal

Deception with a smile will destroy many
Hidden jealousy will drain your life
A smile can become a mask, so
Live lightly and try to be anxious for nothing
This is not easy, but necessary in this modern world

When your smile is gone
He cares; all you have to do is
Dare to call Him even when you 'fall'

He knows your pain,
So retain your joy and live your
Life with God like a little boy
God cares, so share your pain
With Him and He can carry your burden
God is the great surgeon
When your smile is gone
He cares; all you have to do is 'dare'
To call Him even when you 'fall'

God is good
He stood on a 'hill' and declared
His love as He came down like a dove and
Showered us with mercy and grace
He cares when your smile is gone,
He is the great surgeon
