DOWN THE WRONG PATH

Sometimes all goes wrong and that makes us feel low,
Something else happens so down despondency path we go,
See how hard Satan is laughing, has he won this round?
Are our spirits so lows we walk with our heads to the ground?

What is a kick in the teeth when the Lord is on your side,
Hold up your head high, His great truth never ever hide.
Set aside ill feeling, set aside Satan’s despondency soon,
Don’t wait until things get better, or there is a blue moon.

Let us have the courage to battle up every long steep hill,
Have the strength to carry on, laugh and smile with a will.
Do not be discouraged God is overall, we always love to sing.
So let us count our blessings and so great comfort sweetly bring.

The blessings of loved ones who you know who love and care,
The blessing of knowing that Our God will always answer prayer.
The blessing of a strong comforting arm, that will hold you tight,
Just like a loving parent when you are afraid in the dark of night.

Please help keep us off the wrong path that leads to deep despair,
Help us dear Father to remember that Thou art always there,
And it is us who have moved away, but we are ever in thy reach,
Please guide and direct us to remember how Jesus did teach.

He was often was hurt and was scoffed, mocked and put down,
But He taught these folks with kindness, never with a frown
Upon that radiant face, but stayed close to His Father above,
So we pray dear Lord that we may still continue on in love.
