There are times when we can’t see our way ahead

There are times when we think of what we’ve left behind

There are days when we just don’t understand

There are days when all we can do is cry

There are times when people hurt and stab us

There are times when secrets lie in trusted friends

There are times when people don’t want to live for God

So they keep it inside themselves instead

There are days when good seems defeated by evil

There are days when we can’t keep it inside

There are days when we hide in a closet and sniffle

There are days when we don’t want to show it outside

There are times when the hard thing is hardest

There are times when no one understands

There are times we feel like the lie is best

There are times when you hear the gossip second-hand

There are times you feel beat and broken,

Wanting to express yourself but can’t

There are days when everything is a burden

There are times when it seems like God won’t come back

That’s how I feel sometimes,

The feelings bottle up inside

But as Christians, we have to let that go

As Christians, we have to help each other glow

Do we live for God, or live for fear?

Do any of us have the strength to write a poem unclear?

Do any of us see what each other’s lives are like,

Outside the pain and our own hurt inside?

Do any of us stand in a community effort?

Do any of us think for ourselves in time?

Do any of us take God’s name in vain?

Saying we’re Christians, but we act insane

This might not make any sense

This might sound like a sermon of foolishness

But I don’t care what’s easiest,

I’ve got to let this problem out outside
