Lives | Distressed | |
Cannot Be | Blessed |
Refuse to be discouraged, |
Refuse to be distressed, |
For when we are despondent |
Our life cannot be blessed- |
For doubt and fear and worry |
Close the door to Faith and Prayer, |
For there's no room for blessings' |
When we're lost in despair- |
So remember when you're troubled |
With uncertainty and doubt |
It is best to tell Our Father |
What our fear is all about- |
For unless we seek His guidance |
When troubled times arise |
We are bound to make decisions |
That are twisted and unwise- |
But when we view our problems |
Through the eyes of God above, |
Misfortunes turn to blessings |
And hatred turns to love. |
