Analysis of When the road was rough
Royston 1946 (Reading)
The road was rough, the going tough
I knew not what to do.
Then Jesus came and spoke my name
and helped me work it through.
With Him I walked and with Him talked.
It was so good to pray.
For me He cared, my burden shared
and helped me through each day.
