My Struggle
When you look at the sky
And all you see is grey
When your sin condemns you
And you've gone astray
When all attempts of change
Have but been in vain
And every struggle to improve
Has brought about only pain
And the more you try
The more you seem to fail
And surely the next step
Is one of travail
Adrift in the ocean
Of sorrow and shame
The calm of the sea
Never to regain
The sky may be grey
But the sun still shines
You may have gone astray
But there is still time
Failures and struggles
Will increase day by day
Yet you must go on
For there is a better way
The path strewn with thorns
Has beautiful flowers too
And every small victory
Brings blessings anew
Believe in Him
Who took your sorrow and shame
Trusting that one day
The sea will be calm again.
