Trouble and strife’s scattered around
When will my problems cease?
Where is the answer to be found?
How can I find some peace?
Who can relieve this tortured mind?
How can I end my plight?
How can anxious nerves unwind?
How can I sleep at night
So many times I’ve wished to die?
Crying such bitter tears
But still the pressures multiply
Bringing doubts and fears
Why is my life festooned with stress?
Why do I find no ease?
Could it be sin I must confess?
To God upon my knees
Is it that simple is it so plain?
Can Jesus ease my soul?
Can Jesus take away this pain?
Could Heaven be my goal?
So here I kneel right here right now
A wretch bound up in sin
To You Lord God I humbly bow
That I be cleansed within
Praying is awfully strange my God
Yet now that I’ve begun
My bowing here is not as odd
As other things I’ve done
I pray forgive this selfish child
Please hear my troubled plea
Allow me to be reconciled
And grant new birth to me.....
