The path to healing forks too many times The road to contentment is hard to align Out of the anguish - the quiet voice is mesmerizing Great God Jehovah sympathizing Manifold in misery - symbiotic history of trials Soon a yard turns into miles - a day becomes a year No path set before me presents itself as clear - confusion without peer The cudgel of forlorn dreams - hits me square and final Restoring the locust years What you cannot do for yourself There is One who is able To restore the years the locust ate When sorrow has its grip on you Giving you no reason to submit to any other Manifold in misery - symbiotic history of trials Soon a yard turns into miles - a day becomes a year No path set before me presents itself as clear - confusion without peer The cudgel of forlorn dreams - hits me square and final Restoring the locust years ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel 2: 25, I Peter 5: 10
