Trouble!

Tonight the words of an old spiritual come to mind.  It tells of times in the Bible when there was trouble and Jesus came to the rescue.   When I can't control the events happening around me, I remember the chorus. . .

Lyrics:

Trouble come my way (Trouble come my way)
Have to cry sometime (I Have to cry sometime)
Trouble come my way (Trouble come my way)
Have to cry sometime (I Have to cry sometime)
Lay awake at night (Lay awake at night)
But that's all right (That's all right), that's all right

 

Chorus 1:
I know my Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
Lord, I know my Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
Well, I know that Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
After a while (After a while)

 

Stepped into the furnace (Step into the furnace)
A long time ago (Long time ago)
With ole Shadrach (Shadrach, Meshach)
And Abed-Nego (And Abed-Nego)
Well, they didn't worry (They didn't worry)
'Cause this I know (This I know)       

 

Chorus 2:
They knew that Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
They knew that Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
They knew that Jesus (Jesus, He will fix it)
After a while (After a while)

 

When you are hurting (When you're hurting)
And on your face it's shown (Pain is shown)
But you keep on trying (You keep tryin')
To bear the pain alone (All alone)
You know you need to give it to Jesus (Give it to the Master)
He can handle the load (Heavy load)

 

 

Yes, the troubles will come.  And I can't fix it.  But Jesus will. . .after awhile!
