STARTING OVER

 

I feel the tension mounting,

 every second of every day.

The stress overwhelms me,

and nothing goes my way.

I lost my favorite job,

and my options are very few.

I lost my best friend,

what am I going to do?

Starting over was never easy, 

it never was meant to be.

It's always a time of learning,

and not a time of harmony.

My bills keep piling,

and all my cupboards are bare.

I reached out to others,

but no one really cares.

I lost another car,

and all my possessions too.

Here I am starting over,

at the age of sixty-two

Starting over was never easy,

it never was meant to be.

It's always a time of learning,

and not a time of harmony.

So I fix my eyes on Jesus,

I know he's always near.

He can take away my sorrows,

and cast away my fears.

I place my hope in Jesus,

even when life looks grim.

He promised to help me,

I know I can trust him.
