SADNESS

My heart is filled with sadness
        When I think of you, my friend
        You had so much to live for
        But now that’s at an end
        The Lord had taken all your weight
        And set you on the rock
        You had so much to live for
        You can’t turn back the clock.

        If only you had asked Him in
        And let yourself be led
        Put all your past into His hands
        Doing what He said
        Your headstrong ways have got you here
        Tangled in this mess
        When are you going to see the truth
        Get on your knees, confess.

        So as you sink into despair
        Remember, there’s a way
        He’s holding out His hand to you
        Grab it now, today
        Tell Him that you’re sorry
        Repent, and turn away
        From the tide that’s sweeping you
        To darkness and decay.
