The Lord's Prayer
- Never Alone!
“Laugh and the world
laughs with you.”
“Cry and you cry
alone.”
In this world full
of people rushing by
Those words are
sometimes my own.
Many times friends
are hard to come by
And no confidant
cares to draw nigh
We live in a world
filled with busy souls
Who themselves
are just trying to get by
With cynicism easy
to cling to,
Although I have
malice toward none,
I find that the
friends I can count on
On the odds are
a billion to one.
So how does a soul
keep on giving
And sharing and
caring alone?
I know that the
answer lies deep within God
Who himself gave
His only dear Son!
So when silence
is so hard to bear
And you just need
to pour out your heart
Remember that Jesus
is there
And He’s promised
to never depart.
Yes, life can be
lonesome at times
Full of troubles
and sorrows to bear
So remember this
thought so sublime:
Cast your burdens
on Jesus through prayer!
