Buried in sorrow
I was overtaken by my grief
I thought I had it going
But that was just my belief.
I struggled hard to make it
But the tougher times would get
Then I decided to give up
But God said, 'No you, not yet.'
So I kept right on fighting
Smiling trying to do some good
And I truly kept praying
It was comforting that I should.
Life made me doubt
When prayer gave me hope
Then I was delivered
When God decided I could cope.
When I looked around me
All my troubles were the same
I had been spititually challenged
I'd only been wrestling in my brain.
