Try Jesus

Are you feeling depressed and lonely
And you don't really have a care
You get yourself in such a state
And scream life is just not fair.

You feel that no-one loves you
You sit alone and cry
You get yourself in such a state
And scream to God why? why? why?

Why am I so depressed you say
Can't anybody see
If only I could rid myself
Of this lunacy.

But wait a minute I hear you say
Somethings come to me
I read this poem the other day
It said that God loves me.

It said that God so loved the world
He sent His Son to die
But can He rid me of this curse
I think I'll give Him a try.

After all said and done I have nothing to lose
But everything to gain
So Father turn my life around
I ask in Jesus name.
