He has your Best in mind

 

You chose to follow the Lord,

Each step of the way,

And you let Him guide you

Through each and every day

 

But right now it seems

Like He’s let you down,

Your face is stained with tears,

Your countenance bears a frown.

 

Your little heart hurts so much

You think it could break,

And you wonder just how much more,

You are able to take.

 

You thought you’d found love,

But it wasn’t true,

And now it seems he only wanted

One thing from you.

 

He’s rejected your God,

And what you know to be true.

But when it came to the crunch

You knew what to do.

 

You chose the Lord,

You knew what was right.

But inside your heart

There still is this fight.

 

One part says you loved him,

And now that is lost.

The other says, choose Jesus Christ

At any cost

 

My friend, don’t give in

To the pressures around,

Keep your eyes on Jesus,

Your faith strong and sound.

 

He loves you so much

And has your best in mind,

Just hold on to His hand

And this you will find.

 

He offers something far better

Than you’ll find in this life,

He offers life eternal

Free of heartache and strife.

 

He’s building a mansion

In heaven for you,

And one day you’ll live there

If you remain strong and true.

 

So keep your chin up

And a smile on your face,

Trust in the Lord,

And you’ll win the race.
