Worry at times comes to fill our lives
with uneasiness, doubt and fear,
feeling a sense of impending doom,
of disaster drawing near,
clouding our minds with shadows,
making everything dark and unclear.
Worry approaches like a thief,
stealing all hope from the soul,
robbing our peace and tranquility,
distracting us from our goal,
making us feel we are sinking
into a deep, dark hole.
Worry may be overcome
by conquering our doubt and fear,
with assurance that God's loving power
and protection are always near,
chasing shadows out of our minds
with a love that is bright and clear.
Worry retreats with time spent in prayer
as God returns hope to the soul,
giving us peace and tranquility
when loving him becomes our goal,with uneasiness, doubt and fear,
feeling a sense of impending doom,
of disaster drawing near,
clouding our minds with shadows,
making everything dark and unclear.
Worry approaches like a thief,
stealing all hope from the soul,
robbing our peace and tranquility,
distracting us from our goal,
making us feel we are sinking
into a deep, dark hole.
Worry may be overcome
by conquering our doubt and fear,
with assurance that God's loving power
and protection are always near,
chasing shadows out of our minds
with a love that is bright and clear.
Worry retreats with time spent in prayer
as God returns hope to the soul,
giving us peace and tranquility
lifting us out of the darkness,
and making our spirits feel whole.
