A Hope an' a Prayer

I lost my job right after five at the closing of day
Told I was no longer needed in the trite usual way
I’ve put so much time in this tedious place
Now loyalty and dedication they throw in my face
The paycheck and the money, they cease to come
Rely on unemployment, I am completely undone
Regardless of circumstances I must run the race
The truth of my situation I now must face
The bills continue to come and the debt to grow
Desperation and fear I now finally know
My house my home my comfort my car
I reach for these things, but they are just too far
To cease my families hunger is now my aim
I pray to God this does not lead me to shame
My God! To God, to God I say?
Yes! To God it is to Him I pray
The One the Only the Truth and the Light
It is with faith in Him I continue the fight
I search in the Bible and God’s faithfulness I find
Living my life I’ll keep these answers in mind
These worldly things, they are not what will last
But the heavenly things, when our judgment has past
