Why do I cry sometimes?
I guess it's because all the bad things that be going on in
the world,
All the time I wish there was no such thing called pain,
Back in the slavery days that's what most of their songs and
prayers meant,
But they also meant something else, something that was much
greater than freedom or wealth.
It was faith, and the love of God,
That's what they believed to keep them strong and proud.
But faith is something I don't have
If things don't go my way, my life goes down
And the only thing I know how to do then is frown
I'm no longer wearing God's child's crown
I'm wearing depression and pain's long dreary gown
Walking around most of my life with my head bowed down
Thinking to myself what to do now cry or just let things
go?
What do you do when your life's full of sorrow
Who to talk to when I can't put my pain in words
Who to lean on when my pain really hurts
No one I guess...
But wait there is God, He can help me
He can make me strong
I know people like "How are you supposed to lean on Him?"
I know this sounds odd but just close your eyes
And reach for within His hand
Trust me...No lie
He will be there to hold you and be there for you
He leaves no abandoned child if you're really for Him
Don't pout don't cry don't let faith pass you by
Take a minute to think it out
I mean where would you be without God?
He's the Father, He won't let you down
He'll help you get back on your feet
And pick up your crown, turn your frown into a smile
He'll pick your head up when it's bowed down
Don't know how to move on?
He'll show you how
And say to you "Who's weak now?
And you will say to Him...strong and true...
"Not God's child!"
