Leaning on your Savior

by Karen Stringfield

When someone you love says something so vile
Responding with ugliness is not worthwhile.
To do that would put a smile on Satan's face.
That would be a humongous disgrace.

It hurts to think they really believe Satan's lie,
Pray for the breastplate of righteousness to apply.
So that your temper is squelched and at rest.
Don't let Satan win at this obvious test.

God is there for your comfort and peace.
Surrendering control of ill feelings is a sweet release
Let Him fill your soul and take care of your heart.
His love covers your hurt and never departs.

When you find yourself wallowing in self pity,
You have a savior and don't need a committee.
He's waiting to hear from you on the edge of his seat.
He wants to hear your trials even if it's a repeat.

Put all your troubles in the hands of the man from Galilee.
He's able and ready to answer every prayer and plea.
He's been where you are without a friend to care.
He's always willing to help, you just need to bow in prayer.
