A WAY OUT

Written for Sharkbait's "The Poet's Prompt" contest

A WAY OUT

When the world gets in your way
and the struggle seems too hard to bear;
When you look for the silver lining,
finding it is just not there..

If your voice is small and fading,
there seems no use in trying anymore;
Just remember there is someone waiting
who would help you even up the score.

Take the time to talk with Jesus,
He will guide you on your way
And troubles will soon vanish;
you can talk to Him, today.

If you're looking for a way out
and the options are mighty few;
There may be a brighter tomorrow,
don't let it start without you.

When the world gets in your way
and all your hope is gone,
When your voice is small and fading
He can help you carry on.
