There's times when life just gets us down~
And we truly feel God is not around~
The devil whispers in our ears~
And fills our heads, with doubts and fears~

No matter what we try to do~
He tells us we are "failures" too~
As vicious as a lions bite~
He "drains us of our will to fight"~

To beat depression, to smile again~
We need to turn to God again.
We feel defeated and so sad too~
It seems "Impossible" for us to do~

Yet have you noticed when you are down~
Then other "Christian's" come around~
It isn't just by chance, you know~
God "sends them to us", when we're low~
He picks us up, through "Christian cheer"~
And reassures us He Is Near~

No matter what our problems be~
He's always close to you and me~
So though our woes be small or large~
Our Heavenly Father_ "is still in charge"~

If you should ask me "how I know"~
"I went through this", just hours ago~
I felt so "hopeless" and so down~
Yet now "I stand on Solid Ground"~
It wasn't God, who turned from me~
Yet by "His Grace" He's set me free~

I pray, If nothing else I learn~
When I am down "To Him, I'll turn"~
My trust, in Him, is up to me~
For He controls My Destiny~
Whatever God may lead me to~
He's promised "He will walk me through"~
And should I slip and fall again~
I'll quickly grab "His Nail Scarred Hand"~
I know I've learned and now I see~
I'll always know "God Walks With Me"~
