Depression
Dear Lord, Thanks for a better start -
I've been out of sorts.
I am sorry that I'm a no-go
cause when I'm that way, it hurts.

I never knew I had depression and
all of it's woes.
I just drifted along and
said that's how life goes.

Mr. depression is a cruel taskmaster
who never gives you a break.
He is like Satan making me feel bad
and giving me an overall ache.

O Lord, help all of us who have to deal with
depression for it is a long row to hoe that runs deep.
I pray to You, Lord, come and help
for we are Your sheep.

I love You, Lord!  I hate depression -
it steals my life away!
"Lord, come quickly," I ask, "and
keep depression at bay."
