I'm stuck in a rut

Four walls surround me

I'm calling for help

But people cannot see.

I'm falling to the ground

Someone speaks my name

I turn around

And a man is there

He calls out

My friends and I will help

Two men stand near Him

Who are you, I ask

I am God

This is Jesus, my son

And this is the Holy Spirit

What is the problem

I don't know which way to turn

I shall give you knowledge

I can't work out my problems

I shall give you experience

I can't see where I'm to go

I shall give you imagination

I can't go on

I shall give you hope

People say I care only for myself

I shall give you mercy

But how do I use everything you have given me

I shall give you action

What do I do now?

Go and live your life,

Follow my word and you will be saved

What if my obstacles are too much

My child there is one more thing I give

I give you WILL!

Will to carry on my teachings

and do right by me.

Child , get up and go forth

You are a child of the Lord,

and no obstacle is too great.

Thank you, I now know where

to turn.
