There Are Times

THERE ARE TIMES

Lord, there are times
when I do not live
up to Your expectations.
Teach me lovingly
to be firm in my faith.
Lord, there are times
when I grow tired of living.
Teach me never to give up
because I know you are there.
Lord, there are times
when I feel sorrow.
Teach me to pray to you
when I feel alone.
There is no one dearer
than You, Lord.
The world stands, exists
because you are there.
