DOUBTED

DOUBTED

 

I never knew temptation like this before

It is a test of my faith straight down to the core

 

Tempting me to take the bait of evil’s lore

Causing me to doubt and not trust in the Lord

 

Even though I know that he keeps his word

The temptation increases even more and more

 

And when it comes I don’t know what life has in store

But I know that God has blessings through every open door

 

But sometimes I just feel so unsure

Am I not seeing God because my heart is impure?

 

Does God speak to me or is it all in my mind?

I thought all of my wicked ways were left behind!

 

But every time I look around I seem to be in rewind

But yet God proves ever more why he is faithful and kind

 

Yet I’m tempted to do wrong like one that is still blind

The righteous ways I am still trying to find

 

Help me Lord Jesus to walk down the righteous path

Don’t turn away from me, please spare me from your wrath

 

Renew the joy that I once had

Make me happy again; I’m tired of being sad

 

In Jesus name

Amen
