Help is on the Way
Rumbles of a dangerous time.
Crumbles deep within your mind.
One more time, you cannot stand.
Reach out my friend and take His hand.
Listen close, and hear His voice.
It only takes a simple choice.
It only takes a minute friend.
I tell you truth... it's not pretend.
When buildings fall; when thoughts collapse.
It seems so dark... well yes, perhaps.
Do not give up; too sit or stay!
Believe that help is on the way!
You fear to fail, or maybe so.
You feel you have no where to go.
Do not resist a minute more.
His knock is heard upon your door.
Mistakes are made, and now it's lost.
You know you cannot pay the cost.
There's nothing friend, He cannot pay.
Expect today; helps on the way.
Hopeless seems; fearful streams.
A forest of regret.
With Him fulfill your greatest dreams!
Move your mountains yet!
No time to ponder in your past.
No time to love, what will not last.
Prepare for purpose; renew your mind!
In only Him, for this you find!
When they say no, and He says yes.
When they deny and you confess.
When those who laugh or even hate.
Remain in faith; with patience wait!
Your world may seem as dire still.
Seek only Him; life's greatest thrill!
Accept what no mans words can say.
Accept His help, that's on the way!
