God are you near
to  quell my fear?
Are you there
to ease my dispair?

Depression I'm in it's throughs
is it joy only heaven knows?
On this island I am stranded
this is not what you commanded.

Are you somewhere around
like a truth yet to be found?
Do you hear my cries
as all hope begins to die?

God works in wonderous ways
he is here my soul be saved.
peace and love is his will
my worries and fears are forever still.
     amen
