I'd always have something lagging on my mind.

I had a lot of bills I could barely keep a dime

There was hardly any food when it came to dinner-time.

I tried to overlook the mess that was on the floor

But if I didn't clean it up, the children would make more.

I did not have a social life not a single friend

Who would want a companion with not a thing to lend.

I could not imagine what there was to be

If only someone could lift me up and just set me free.

And so with all these problems I thought of suicide

I wouldn't have all this stress if only I had died.

But, do you know what came to me as I thought it over

Something that changed my life and turned my whole world over.

You see, the gates of Hell are always open - you may enter anytime

And the gates of Heaven are always open but you may enter WHEN its time.

I still have lots of problems I will until the end

But now I have help in dealing from JESUS, my best friend.

Trust in God for your dreams as the darkness passes by

Trust in God in the morning when your day needs a fresh start

Trust in God for protection to place a hedge around your heart

Trust in God through the daytime when the pressure gets to you

Trust in God for His guidance and His Will will see you through

Trust in God when the sun sets and there you'll find a friend

Trust in God with your life until the very end.
