"When I can't take no more"

Sometimes I get discourage,
and sometimes I feel dismay.

But then I think of others,
who are less fortunate today.

I try to take my mind off
of whatever I am going through.

So I try to feed the homeless,
for Your Word says that this is what you want me to do.

For if I keep myself busy,
answering Your call.

I know that You will be there for me
whenever I fall.

Lord when I
can't take no more.

I go into my prayer
closet and I close the door.

I tell you all about my problems
and all that I am going through.

You tell me that if I will follow your instructions,
then you will show me just what to do.

And then I remember
all that You have done for me.

Then I begin to praise you,
for I know that I have found peace in thee.

Then I begin to feel
Your wondrous and unfailing love.

And the peace of the Lord envelops me,
and I feel Your mercy fall from above.


Lord now when I begin to feel
that I can't take anymore.

I know deep within heart that you
have given me the power to rise up and sore.
