What do I feel 
When theres nothing I can do. 
To ease the pains of life 
And the changes  
It puts you through. 
 
Oh its all inside my heart 
It threatens my very soul. 
To see your life confused 
It almost seems  
Far beyond your control. 
 
All along the path of life 
It darkens but brightens again. 
But to see the sunshine daily 
Its in your heart  
Where the light begins. 
 
This that I feel 
When theres nothing I can do. 
I give it up to God 
For He is the only one   
That can see you through. 
 
But you've got to trust you 
To tust Him  
In all your lil' ways. 
For I have no power to help you 
Its only God who can save. 
 
I encourage you to love you 
To be a light  
In all you say and do. 
And I promise you the darkness 
Will be light on your path to you.
