CALL ON GOD

 

When you are down

Woke up sad

And it seems

The day is going to be bad

Call upon God

 

When you go to work

And your boss is making work for you unbearable

Your colleagues at work

Are being unapproachable and unfriendly

Call upon God

 

When that marriage

Is taking your life away

Your spouse has become something

Someone you never imagined

When your children are going wayward

And you have sleepless nights

With wet pillows

Before you talk to that friend in the office

That counselor down the road

Before you take the phone

And call your parents

Lock yourself up in your closet

And cry unto God

Call upon God

Until He answers

Don’t come out of your closet

Call upon God

 

When that fiancé or fiancée

Who has promised to marry you!

Keeps cheating on you

And treating you with disdain

Come out of that emotional

Love blind blanket

Watch and pray

Call upon God

 

When life has become so difficult

You cannot make two ends meet

Everything your hand finds doing crumbles

You seem not to succeed at anything you do

Move out of that crowd

Move away from the grumblers and complainers

Make a plea to your maker

Call upon God

Never give up

Keep praying, keep working

The light will surely shine again

After the heavy rains

And the thick darkness

Keep praying

Keep trusting God

And keep believing!

Call upon God

DON'T STOP RUNNING

I wish I could stop and take a break. 

I wish there was not race to run in the first place. 

I wish I could hire someone to run for me. 

I wish I could change tracks. 

I feel tired often 

I ask why I can't just stop running

I see no one running after me 

Yet I can't stop running 

Run! Run! Run!

Run until you win

Is all I hear 

Tired but can't stop 

Wounded but can't give up 

Sweating but can't stop

Gasping for breath but can't stop 

I want to give up 

But I have to keep running 

The race is tough 

I am exhausted 

But I have to keep running 

The crown is at the end of the race...
