WHY CAST DOWN, OH MY SOUL?

At times he wants to cry,

Life seems to be passing by…

He’s cast down

With none around,

Apparently to hear his cry!

–

Yet his Savior lives,

Enlivens and forgives…

Remove the stone

And be welcomed home,

Your Lord is very nearby!

–

Open the Book of Psalms

And find a passage that calms…

Spirit control

Is good for the soul,

Submitting to God without qualms!

–

Peace beyond understanding

Comes from Lord Most High commanding…

Wave and wind

To rescind,

His power their actions remanding.

–

Hope and trust in God,

Not any one else–bad odds!

Follow the Way

Christ will stay,

In Spirit til He comes with rods.
