A Great Lord

My friend, when you are blue,

And you, know not what to do,

Turn to Christ, who died on the tree,

Then, all of your burdens, will flee.

They may be big, they may be small,

But no way, you have to fall,

Because, this man, Christ Jesus, is great,

And He, is never never late.

This Lord, is not afar,

Because, He's, the bright and morning star,

He's the sunshine, in your heart,

Therefore, He will never part.

Yes friend, this Lord is near,

And you'll never have to fear,

He's your way, out of sadness,

Everything, will turn to gladness.
