FEELING LOW
I am feeling, for some reason, quite sad and low,
There is no need, for I have always been blest so
I know the truth of the gospel, know Jesus loves me,
But there seems a weight in my heart I can’t set free.

I know there are many people who are worse off than I,
But at the moment, my self pity makes me want to cry,
Yes, all is well at the moment yet deep within my heart,
Is a terrible feeling that soon my love and I must part.

I will not succumb to this heavy heartache and pain,
But smile and be cheerful in the time that does remain,
I’ll enjoy life to the full, and my thoughts maybe wrong,
If so, how loud and sweet and joyful will be my song.

It is silly being sad and low when there is still a life to live,
So ever onward we’ll go, strength and love each other give
More every day so that our sweet love grows ever strong,
For we know we’ll be together to rejoice in heaven’s throng.

As we still walk hand in hand through life’s very short day,
For it will ever continue when God’s heaven comes our way,
The deepest love to humans know with death can’t separate
And the one who goes first will be waiting at heaven’s gate.
