"Worry!  Sure I worry"
He replied to my dismay,
"What does 'worry' accomplish?
Why not try 'n pray".
 "Doubt!  Why sure I doubt sometimes
 You know to doubt's a shame,
 Why doubt when by faith,
 You can trust in His Holy name."
  "Weep!  Sure I weep on occasion
  Don't you know weeping will destroy,
  Try building upon the 'Solid Rock'
  And you'll weep tears of joy."
   "Fear!  Yes, sometimes I'm fearful.
   It's the unknown I'm afraid of.
   Why not seek courage from His word;
   And comfort from His love."
    Struggle!  Why yes, I guess I struggle;
    But I go on defeated just the same,
    Why not ask for victory and pardon.
    He'll forgive if asked in Jesus' name."
     Rejoice!  You bet I'm rejoicing
     For today I'm free of earthly care,
     I see you took my advice,
     At last you're free from Satan's snare."
      "Believe!  Sure I believe
      That Jesus died for me.
      Ah, yes, bought by the blood
      I know then why you're free."
       "Surrender!  You bet I surrendered
       the moment I gave up the fight,
       To completely depend upon the Savior
       Brings the Lord glad delight."
        "Trust!  Sure I trusted only Him
        The moment I was free from strife,
        That's the key to Sainthood;
        And the glory road to eternal life."
