My mind is stuck in neutral
writing now seems to be futile
The body grows weary and tired
maybe a good rest is desired.
Our bodies are only shells
in which our spirits dwell
A temporary resting place
until we meet Him face to face.
The human side of us
tries to keep up with the rush
Of humdrum daily tasks
I think too much of it we ask.
Sometimes the weariness overtakes
we feel as though we need a break
Even as God created earth and man
He rested on the seventh day as planned.
If you're feeling down and defeated
reach inside and draw from what's needed
The miracle of salvation He freely gave
So let it sustain you through these days.
Jesus is the sweetest name I know
and He's just the same as His lovely name
That's the reason why I love Him so
cause Jesus is the sweetest name I know.
Do you ever have the feeling deep down
that you're spinning your wheels on sandy ground
Then I'm reminded of the enemy that roams
to keep us unsettled with fears unknown.
So I gather up what strength I can....
keep on getting up until I stand......
Upon that solid rock called Jesus
the creator of life, Savior and Keeper.
If in your heart those words you believe
then you are ready to receive
The strength to keep you going still
just trust in Him and follow His will.
If satan tries to get you down
don't let Him turn a smile into a frown
Your strength comes from the Lord
he has no power as long as you have the sword.

Proverbs 3: 5, 6, 7
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the
LORD, and depart from evil.
