When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you've truding seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are higher,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down abit
Rest if you must, but (don't you quit.)
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close youare,
It maybe near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that,
you mustn't quit.

Healed and Whole
by Carol Parrott
One day I dug a hole
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I'd put it there to hide.
But that little hurt began to grow
I covered it everyday
I couldn't leave it and go on
It seemed the price I had to pay.
My joy was gone, my heart was sad
Pain was all I knew
My wounded soul enveloped me
Loving seemed too hard to do.
One day while standing by my hole
I cried to God above
And said, "If You are really there---
They say, You're a God of Love!"
And just like that--He was right there
And just put His arms around me
He wiped my tears, His hurting child
there was no safer place to be.
I told Him all about my hurt
I opened up my heart
He listened to each and every word
To every sordid part.
I dug down deep and got my hurt
I brushed the dirt away
And placed it in the Master's hand
And healing came that day.
He took the blackness of my soul
And set my spirit FREE!
Something beautiful began to grow
Where the hurt used to be.
And when I look at what has grown
Out of my tears and pain
I remember every day to give my hurts to Him
And never bury them again.
