“How to Handle a Shipwreck” AM

HE WAS THERE

Tempted and tried
As we travel life’s road.
Troubles and sorrows
A burdensome load.

Try as I will
To shoulder the hurt,
I stumble and fall
With my face in the dirt.

The way of all man
And so I am told
But what hangs in the balance
is my precious soul.

I must get up,
This truth I know
But I need some help,
To whom can I go

My strength was almost gone
As I walked up Calvary’s road
My cross became so heavy
I fell beneath the load.

These words my Master spoke
Came to my heart that day.
I knew that by His power
That I could find the way.

My world burdens make me weak,
The Master made me strong.
Though I had searched to find Him
He had been there all along.
