God Be My Refuge

When troubled times befall,
and I can't do my all,
God be my refuge.

When the future looms ahead,
or illness confines to bed,
God be my refuge.

When responsibility seems too hard,
and my sense of strength is marred,
God be my refuge.

When others cause me pain,
or loss through dishonest gain,
God be my refuge.

When I forget I need to trust,
or I'm driven by should or must,
God be my refuge.

When the light is dim all day,
and memory fades away,
God be my refuge.

When I can't see the forward way,
and have lost the strength to pray,
God be my refuge.

When all I know is gone,
and I can no longer carry on,
God be my refuge.

Thank you. There are times when prayers made of a few words seem to have great strength.
