I wanted much to write a song,
but the words would never come along.
The only ones that came to mind,
was a chorus from another time.
It said exactly what I thought –
words that someone else had wrought.
Our minds can eat us up at times –
convinces our demise –
but all along the downward turn
is fueled by nothing more than lies.
I read a Psalm the other day
where David’s mind was quite a mess.
He finally stopped and went to God –
God showed him what he’d missed –
enough to put him back on track;
enough to lift him from his pit.
So then the words from long ago
that tells us where to turn;
when life has pressed us in the dirt;
oh, that we would learn.
“Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.”
