by Pat Severin

There will be days when you feel down
and there is much to make you,
but just because you’re in that place,
God never will forsake you.

He always wants the best for you
though you may feel alone.
Remember He is always there.
You’re never on your own.

When things are going less than great
and you can’t find your way out,
you still have Him, when things look dim,
just ask and He won’t stay out...

of your sad heart and sorrows, too.
You are His precious one.
With Him to guide, there at your side,
remember He’s not done.

He really has a plan for you,
and even in this place,
His Love is there, no matter where,
He’s offered you His Grace.

So come to Him in prayer today,
He loves to hear from you.
Complaint or rant, through tears He’ll grant
what’s needed to get through.
