The Obstacle Course Of Life

As I go through life on this planet, I think of it as an obstacle course
The turns of trials come suddenly and at times one could get lost

Caught up in a whirl of emotions, troubled mind spinning out of conrtrol
Trials and tribulations wrecking havoc on my soul

There are days when I got really tired and just wanted to lay down on a soft bed
Instead I got these discouraging thoughts all up in my head

No rest for the weary
Most days I get really teary

Thoughts of doom and gloom even in my sleep
Times I had to wake up and pace the floor and get down really deep

I am only human, shaped and steeped in sin
Living in a world of make believe fears and superstition deep within
Tired, so tired, when does it end?

Most of my life was a total disaster
Until I met my wonderful Savior

Now the obstacles I literally jump over
Alleluia!!! I am an over-comer!

His Supernatural Holy Spirit He gave to me
Now my sleep is so very sweet

I look forward to the next trial
When it comes, "Jesus Christ" is set on "speed dial"

This is my testimony
And it did not cost me any money

Freely I received it
Freely I have given it

You can jump the hurdles of life and be an over-comer too
Just call on Jesus and He will take you through

With loving thoughts I write this
I pray I am not remiss
