The Key and the Cure

God knows our every step, our every move, 
And there is nothing really we have to prove.
He knows without a shadow of a doubt, how much we love Him, how much we care,
He is all knowing and so very much is He aware.

But this day was different for John as he pondered his life and all the things that seemed
to have suddenly turned wrong,
He said Lord life has gotten too hard, and I feel like maybe I've lived one day too long.
He said I feel like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders and upon my back,
And a tear runs down his old weathered face, and he says I need Your light but all I see
is black.

He said every little thing I do I seem to fail,
He said I feel like hollering out loud, Lord please help me, can't You hear my yell?
Then anger starts to fill his thoughts consume his mind,
And he picks up his pistol but no bullets can he seem to find.

Then he hears a voice so loud and clear,
I've never forsaken you, said the voice so sweet and dear.
You are my child and I exist for you,
I feel the pain that you are going through.

Just trust in Me and this all will pass,
This hurt you feel it will not last.
I promise you, you will endure,
For I am the KEY, I am the CURE.
