"THE WALL"
Be not weary of it friend;
about life's woeful bout;
there are things that enter in
that you can do without!
Hard times come and hard times go;
just hold your head up high,
and hang in there and take the blow;
that's where your strength will lie.
In these times of fear and doubt,
when life deals you a spin,
just chew it up and spit it out
and take it on the chin!
But you may say in your dismay:
"there's too much to deny;
the many things that come my way....
that seem to go awry."
The answer lies in God above,
He'll show you what to see---
the beauty of the things you love,
and let the others be.
Blind or sight He gives you light
to view His wonders true;
The warm sunshine, the feel of night,
the freshness of the dew.
A breath of life, an appetite,
a chance to walk and talk,
a heart to beat for whom you meet,
a choice you must not balk.
And focus on your house and home,
your family and kin,
everything that's good to own
brings happiness within.
And best of all on God you call,
He'll take away your plight,
and Jesus Christ will be your wall
to bar away the strife.
