Life Is Hard

You turn the key
Then close the door behind you
Drop your bags on the floor
You reach for the light
But there's darkness deep inside
And you can't take it anymore

'Cause sometimes living takes the life out of you
And sometimes living is all you can do

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard, but God is good

You start to cry
'Cause you've been strong for so long
And that's not how you feel
You try to pray
But there's nothing left to say
So you just quietly kneel

In the silence of all that you face
God will give you His mercy and grace

Jesus never said
It was an easy road to travel
He only said that you would never be alone
So when your last thread of hope
Begins to come unraveled
Don't give up, He walks beside you
On this journey home and He knows

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard, but God is good

You're Not Alone

I search for love, when the night came, 
And it closed in, I was alone, 
But you found me, where I was hiding, 
And now I'll never ever be the same, 
It was the sweetest voice, 
That called my name saying

You're not alone, For I am here, 
Let me wipe away your every fear, 
My love I've never left your side, 
I have seen you through the darkest night, 
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life, 
All of your life...

You cry your self to sleep, cause the hurt is real, 
And the pain cuts deep, all hope seems lost, 
With heartache your closest friend, 
And everyone else long gone, 
You've had to face the music on your own, 
But there is a sweeter song that calls you home saying

You're not alone, For I am here, 
Let me wipe away your every tear, 
My love I've never left your side, 
I have seen you through the darkest night, 
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life, 
All your life...

Acceptance

We wish that we could be in full control of our lives,
But there is always that little bit of which we have no control of,
However if we are able to accept it,
Then will our lives continue to move on.
