Him

Jason Wooten 1972 (San Francisco)



When things get hard & times seem rough,
all that I do, is sit and cry,
I don't understand these problems,
the position that I'm in...why?

Just believe He has a reason,
for the trials that you go through,
try to relax a little...'cause,
when we look back, we see, we grew.

To keep our eyes focused on Him,
blocking out all the negative,
keeping his words close to your heart,
much more peacefully we will live.
