Soul's Lifeguard

When sorrow overwhelms you, And, pain is like the oldest friend, Remember, when you’re down, This isn’t where the battle will end. When worries leave you fearful, And, the clouds just won’t break, Don’t forget – there in that sky, Abides a peace that you can’t mistake. When mourning seems everlasting, And, grief prompts you to tears, Remember, when you’re living in shadows, There is hope beyond the worst fears. When regrets follow you so closely, And, the guilt keeps you feeling remorse, Don’t forget – there in spring’s sigh, Shines love that our dreams will endorse. When anger leaves you feeling so dreadful, And, the suspicion provokes your wrath, Remember to forget all the uncertainties, Sincerity and peace are the stones on your path. When discouragement overwhelms your spirit, And, darkest despair quiets your inner peace, Don’t forget your true feelings will remind you, Deep within you God is creating a masterpiece. When melancholy seems to haunt your spirit, And, the dusk overshadows your dreams, Remember to cast your eyes to the perfect skies, Where joy and hope seem to go to extremes. When an aching comes over you, just trembling, And, the unsteady words just won’t speak, Don’t forget, love is always with you, defending, Even when you feel drained, you’re not weak. When your thoughts are filled with troubles, And, your mind is your worst adversary, Remember, all but One of us is flawed, Only Jesus, our Savior, is truly legendary. When you think of all you have lost, And the anguish seems printed on your heart, Don’t forget, with the love of Jesus, there is hope, Despite the hurt, you’ll find the peace He can impart. When everywhere you go, everything you know, Reminds you that this life is just so hard, Remember that He is there, alive and well, Offering you His saving grace – He’s the souls lifeguard!
