Staying Alive
(read Job 1:8)
Lord, Why do I have to suffer
The depth of deep heartache;
When I'm walking in Your promises
And standing strong in faith?
If you have chosen me for circumstance,
Or put a battle in my way;
May You sustain me in the process
And give me strength when I'm afraid?
For, Lord, I know it is NOT over
Until, YOU say, "It's Done;"
So, I will look beyond the chaos
Until I have overcome!
The devil cannot kill me
For, You, Lord, own my life;
So, while I'm going through my "go through"
I'll trust in You, to stay alive.
Please, Lord, hold my mind together
And contain my every thought;
While I wait upon Your answers
And keep my eyes on You, Oh God!
So, though, the devil try's to slay me
I'll continue in the race;
Until this life is over,
And we are standing face to face!

And the Lord said to Satan,
"Have you considered my
servant Job?"
