When It Comes
When it comes at you both barrels
In waves to devastate.
When I face too many perils...
And my help... It comes too late.
When every fix is causing problems...
That before were not there.
With no clear way to solve them...
Without facing even more.
In battle best not even fought
You've given it your all...
It took much more than you have got.
You were doomed again to fall!
When you know it could of easy been...
Just a little thing if you...
Have done just one preventive thing...
That you know you didn't do!
You know it wouldn't need done today...
If you'd done it right first time.
It hurts to know you have to say...
I must have lost my mind!
Starting over once again...
With even bigger problems now.
Worse than it had ever been..
And further behind somehow.
You solve problems with more disaster.
Your mountains came from molehills.
Downhill now even faster...
On a ride that gives no thrills.
Then they say it's not that bad...
But they don't have a clue.
It nearly drives you twice half mad.
You say Jesus where were you?
Then you think about that cross.
The beatings and the shame.
The truth is clear all you have lost...
Is nowhere near the same.
And if you'd only just obeyed...
A few common sense commands...
Or worked that day you know you played...
You'd not have bloody hands.
What it is... Is what it is...
And regret won't change a thing.
Remember as a child of His...
The reasons why you still sing.
Sing not because of how things are...
But because of a God who loves.
He never lets you stray too far...
That's not what your God does!
He always has had a good reason...
He just brings you back to Earth.
It must just be another season...
Of learning what life's worth.
It's time to stop and realize...
What matters in the end.
Frustration never makes one wise...
And there's nothing God can't mend!
You got spanked so now move on...
This too shall someday shall pass.
Just one more thing to not do wrong...
A lesson that's sure to last.
Difficulties make you strong...
Overcoming them brings you joy.
Must they go on for quite this long?
And so much right now annoy?
Must be they do... Designef for you.
You're stubborn will to break!
God knows exactly what to do...
In the end... To leave you awed!
So why not skip the angry part...
And thank Him when it goes wrong!
You know deep down within you're heart.
That He'll be with you all along!
