Lord, Keep Thy Promise
Oh, Lord, can you hear my cry and plea?
Keep thy promise and don't forsake me.
Let my children, I pray to thee,
Surrender their lives and to the cross to cling.
Be near now, Oh Lord, to them,
And give mercy and do not condemn.
Be near and help me see,
Thy salvation so rich and free.
When I need you, Lord, hear my plea.
Help me fight down on my knees
As I go on about my day,
Remind me you are with me to stay.
As I lay my head down to rest,
Forgive me my trespasses, for I have done my best.

Depression
It's night time during the day. Like a cloud over you constantly. You are never good enough. You are never strong enough. How I hate talking negative, but how it's so true. You have things that you have to do. Responsibilities left undone. In your mind, you thrive to go out and have a good day and spend it with loved ones. Then again, you don't want to be around anyone. Everyone will stare at you and think you are stupid. Even at work, I am left alone. I hate dealing with each individual that comes in to do business. They all have their perfect little lives, or perfect little scams. I have to hear each one's story, like I care. I do really care, but I feel so left out, so alone. I enter in to each one's story feeling either happy or sad with them. Maybe this is my depression. What is life? What is the thing that will make me so happy? Can I ever be happy in this life?
