Habakkuk. 1-3 Life struggles

What a disaster all around me.

Oppressed by the enemy.

Seems you Lord are far away.

As the unrighteous have their day.

Though you say you will use this.

To bring us back to righteousness.

All that I really now see.

Is you use evil to persecute me.

I come before you and have to say.

Why let them have their own way.

Then God will reveal to you.

Because of what they do.

Destruction will on them come.

They have ignored the holy one.

Who rules the whole earth.

In pain comes the new birth.

Oh Lord it is now that I see.

Though my world feels empty.

I have heard of your great fame.

I will always honour your name.

You always deserve to be adored.

You are my king and my Lord.

John. 5:1-15

When all seems utterly lost.

Nobody prepared to pay the cost.

Jesus comes wandering by.

Then looks me right in the eye.

Get up and pick up you mat.

You can do better than that.

When religious say that’s not right.

You a doing wrong in Gods sight.

Though Jesus from me now hid.

It’s he who told me to do what I did.

Jesus then came my way.

Said you must do what I say.

Then you will be able to tell.

That is why your life goes well.

Ps. 15.

Oh Lord who will not be shaken.

When whole world seems forsaken

Those who alway are doing right.

In Farther Son Holy Spirits sight.

They will alway come through.

Because they have followed you.

Prov. 24:7

In wisdom you must rely.

Or your faith will gradually die.
