When you're down and feeling weary
And your eyes are blurred and teary,
Ask the Lord to lift you up.
With joy He will refill your cup.
You will have a brightened day
If you will "rest" in Him and pray.
"Troubles' are pared down to size.
From weariness you'll start to rise.
His cheer will boost and spur you on,
Enabling you a smile to don.
His joy transforms those weary days
And creates beauty out of "grays".
"Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God."
Psalm 42:11 Amplified Bible
