Why are you so discouraged?

The cool gentle spring breeze across the field blows
Cloudy day again it's damp too but there's no snow
Waiting on the Lord remembering His resurrection
Praying for this family for God's perfect direction

So many thoughts and heavy cares of this crazy world
They can bog you down and get you stuck in the mud
Sometimes the craziness seems like it will never end
But Jesus helps me through it all yes He's my Friend

What?  should I just give up and walk away and end it all?
That would be the ultimate forsaking of God's holy call
The easy way out is not God's way of hard work while it is yet day
We need to reach out to everyone before it is too late

        Why are you so discouraged, O my soul?
        Think about it, we'll soon --yes-- we'll soon be going home!
