“Marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.”
Lean On Me
As the road ahead seems rugged, And the path is getting steep, I feel that I can’t make it, So my heart begins to weep. Then I turn to see who’s coming, To join me on my way. I see it is my Lord, And He slowly turns to say,
“Lean on me, When you have no strength to stand. When you feel you’re going under, Hold tighter to My hand. Lean on me, When your heart begins to bleed. When you know I’m all you have, Then you’ll find I’m all you need.”
Then when I felt that no one cared, If I lived or died, And no one bothered asking why I’d go alone to cry. When the burden got so heavy, I could barely face the day, I felt His arms around me As I gently heard Him say,
“Lean on me, When you have no strength to stand. When you feel you’re going under, Hold tighter to My hand. Lean on me, When your heart begins to bleed. When you come to know I’m all you have, Then you’ll find I’m all you need.”
