ONLY THERE …
When I’m tempted to yield to self-pity,
Anger or despair
As life’s disappointments multiply
Beyond my strength to bear;
Whenever I’m feeling sick at heart,
Despondent and void of hope,
When strength is small
Or faith is weak
And I lack the power to cope
Then I look to the cross of Calvary
Stained with blood divine,
Where the life of the sinless Lamb of God
Was sacrificed for mine.
I cannot control the circumstances
Or sorrows life will send.
At those times when I struggle to praise God
Through trials I can’t comprehend,
There is only one place where my soul can trust
And keep unbelief at bay …
At the cross – where objections are silenced
By the price Love was willing to pay.
