Call out to Him

How can you stay on the straight path,
When your pain is hidden behind a mask?
You try so hard to stay true,
But when temptation comes you don’t know what to do.
Your prayers seem unheard,
So sometimes you wonder why you even say a word.
The hard times almost kill your soul,
And the pain is getting so old.
You call out but it seems no one can hear,
And this is what you fear.
God is there,
You know he cares.
Sometimes you fall through the cracks,
And you feel there is no turning back.
He is holding out His hand,
He will pull you out of the quicksand.
You know He will be there when you call,
But sometimes you don’t want Him to pick you up when you fall.
You don’t want Him to see where you are,
Because you have traveled away so far.
You just want to let go of all the pain,
But that means it will rain.
Sometimes we hold on to our pride,
And put Jesus on the side.
Call back to Him,
For He is the only one who can take away the pain and sin.
