Trust in the Lord

When times are hard and things are falling apart
Don’t listen to what’s in your head, listen to your heart




In our head is the way that won’t stand
For in our mind is the way of man

In our heart is the way that is right
For it was put there by the God who created day and night

Where were we when the world began?
Where were we when stars of the sky first shone over the land?

Was it man who brought the universe into existence through nothing but words?
Was it man that spoke into existence everything from water to birds?

Was it man who made the earth revolve around the sun?
Or was it the God who gave his only begotten son?

Can a man forgive and eternally cleanse ones sins?
Or is it the God who made the universe begin?

The way of man leads to downfall and is unsure
The way of God is perfect, tough but pure

The wisdom of man is a wisdom that won’t last
God’s wisdom is one ever present, future, and past

Man’s way brings happiness, but only for a time
God’s way is everlasting happiness, and peace of mind

Don’t live by your wisdom when you are put to the test
Live by what you know in your heart is right, for that is best

Though mans way may be easier still
And God's like a path uphill
When you reach the top though, there is something more
There is a new strength, a new happiness, and a new hope in store

Man’s way will fail, through and through
But through God’s way, we will make our dreams come true

When everything seems to be falling apart
Listen to where God resides; and that’s in your heart.


Proverbs 3:5-8
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.
