sometimes I feel down

sometimes I feel down.   burned into the dust of my faults,
  buried in the grime of my heartache,
  drenched in the pain of other's insults...
it's then that I turn my attention to God.
  for He is the one who wipes away my sin,
  for He is the one who clears away my misery,
  for He is the one who dries my tears...
and He's my greatest friend...

sometimes I'm abonded.
  left in the dust by my friends.
sometimes I'm ignored.
  treated like I didn't exist or feel.
it's then I turn my attention to God.
for I know He loves me
  and will never leave me...
nor will He ever turn His head
  and forsake me...
