God is My Only Hope
by Deborah Ann Belka

Searching for a new job,
can't buy any gas?
Don't know how much longer,
your last tank will last?

Can't pay the mortgage,
kids need new shoes?
Feeling like you have paid,
more than your dues?

Health insurance expired,
can't afford to get sick?
Sensing you're up against,
a perpetual brick?

Life seems unfair,
can't find your direction?
Too many unpaid bills,
too many, to even mention?

Tough times like these,
we all sometimes go through
in fact, right now - this minute
I am in this boat too.

So I'll just trust in the Lord,
for He is my only hope
and I know He'll get me over
this most slippery slope.
