Worry
Worrying is hard not to do
It's all too natural for you
You have many things to do
Those things are piling up on you
There are words to say, bills to pay
Tension is increasing each day
But worrying just does not pay
It adds no hours to your day
'Worry not about tomorrow
For each day has enough sorrows'
The One who knows your tomorrow
Speaks soothing words to your sorrows
You say, 'How can I not worry?
Burdens are weighing down on me!'
God says, 'My child, do not worry
Lay your heavy burdens on me'
'I've dealt with your greatest burden
Your burden of sin I've taken
Give to me your lesser burdens
Those burdens I've also taken'
'Now, look at the birds of the air
Flying freely without a care
If God feeds the birds of the air
For you, dear child, He'll love and care'
Worrying is hard not to do
It may be natural for you
But God's Word tells us what to do
Seek first God’s kingdom; seek what’s true
