Problems

So I'm told "God brings men into deep waters not to drown them but to cleanse them" 

But my heart forever complains Knowing that He works in His mysterious ways 

but I still dare ask why 

Looking around I know some have it worse than I do 

Wait ... just push that thought out of my head for a sec 

cos my problems seem to weigh me down more than theirs do 

I raise my hands up asking "God what can I do? 

Temporarily blind to see that He's given me al the answers to help me make do 

And still, 

my problems don't seem to vanish 

Seems like the only time I get to escape them is in my sleep

But even then it's restless 

I know I'll see them in the morning 

not even thinking "How do I know I'll wake up tomorrow?" 

Death is so from my mind right now, 

with my worldy problems blocking my every view 

Then I think, "God must be punishing me!" 

I replay my dumb days in my head and I can't help but cry 

Not thinking, "Hey can't you see your still alive 

He wants you to repent and move on with your life 

He wants you to cry to Him." 

But being an insaan, I'm too stubborn too see 

I mean, it's easy for me to give those that ask for advise some advise

"God sees and hears all, He will help you." 

So why can't I tell myself the same? 

Seems like the devil has me exactly where he wants 

sad, confused and lonely ... 

Cos in reality, God IS the only One that can help 

All I need is to devout my life to him 

bringing peace to my sou 

And whatever problem arises I just take it along 

Because He who created all, 

has always got my back.
