Analysis of Sometimes



Sometimes I'm weak.
Sometimes I can't handle the load.
Sometimes I'm worn.
Sometimes I'm torn.
Sometimes I can't move and sometime my mind slips
and I can't remember a thing at all.

But, I do believe the Lord God is going to help me
Sometimes He talks to me.
Sometimes He walks with me.
Sometimes He just holds me until I don't feel the load at all
Sometimes He scolds me.
Sometimes He molds me
Sometimes He shows me how to stand on my own.
