My life is like a roller coaster,It has many twists and turns.So many choices face me each day,And I have many concerns.Some days I just don't know how to go on,So many problems hit me.I wish sometimes that life would slow down,Much easier that would be.
Up and then down, down and then up,Is how I live each day.Some days when I have more downs that ups,I'm ready to run away.I try to solve problems on my own,But nothing ever turns out.I get overwhelmed and frustration sets in,Then all I can do is shout.
I go for a walk to clear my head,I read to try to forget.I call a friend or watch T.V.I don't want to think, not yet.But as I am running I remember a verse,It echoes in my ear."Trust in the Lord with all your heart",I hear it so loud and clear.
Oh what am I doing running from God,Why, O why can't I trust?I say I'm a Christian and say I love God,By my Bible is covered with dust.Oh how I wish that my faith were stronger,I need His help to get through.I've tried it myself but all that I've found,Is despair and anger too.
So now I'm back at that question again,Why don't I just trust God?When trouble finds me why can't I say,"Help me, I need You God."Please give me peace and fill me with joy,I know You'll do that for me.Yet I am stubborn and don't come to You,Why don't I get on my knee?
I close my eyes and take deep breath,I feel You fill my soul.You're mending up my broken heart,And making me feel whole.You hold me in Your loving arms,Then whisper in my ear."I love you child, my precious child",I will always be here."
"I'll help you through each long day,My strength I'll give to you.On days when you don't come to me,I'll still be there; it's true.When you struggle I'll knock at your door,Your name I will call.Cause you my child mean so much to me,I will never let you fall."
"A desire and longing to love Me more,I will give to you.Just take a step and come to Me,I'm here my child; it's true.A little faith goes a long way,The size of a mustard seed.Just have faith and believe I'm here,A little is all you need."
I pull out my Bible and start to read,God's promises fill my soul.Tears fill my eyes as I thank the Lord,For making me feel whole.I cannot live a day without You,And I don't even want to try.For no matter what kind of a day I have,Your strength will help me get by.
I have faith Lord, maybe not much,But a little is all I need.Help my faith grow stronger for You,And I'll follow where you lead.
