Not Inside Or Out

I looked at the world
And all I could see
Was turmoil and chaos
Surrounding me

Bad news filled my ears 
Day out and day in
It seemed like a battle 
That no one could win

So I retreated inside
To my own little space
Surely there I could find
Relief from this race

But inside or out 
No peace to be had
Something was missing
That I needed bad

It wasn’t until 
The Bible’s pages I turned
That I found the help
For which I had yearned

For only God’s words
Are the truth in this life
And only God’s love
Can put an end to all strife

If this world is your friend
Disappointment will reign
If you trust in yourself
Your strength will soon wane 

But when God you trust
And His Word you believe
You’ll have His power 
To completely succeed

So don’t be afraid
Of that worldly view
For God’s Word provides
A loving haven for you

Under God’s wings
You can safely rest 
For God is your Father
And You are His best
