IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD

We are seldom fully prepared for distress;

We set our hearts on seeking happiness.

But distress can be truly overwhelming;

How we need to seek God for His blessing!

 

Ungodliness is likened to a Flood that threatens;

The heart by Dread Fear is now wildly driven.

Sorrows and pangs are felt very greatly;

Divine Help must be sought urgently.

 

Distress can overwhelm the heart and mind;

It can cause a person to feel he is blind!

The heart must be drawn to God in prayer;

The LORD assures us that He truly cares!

 

The LORD God is in Holy Temple;

He listens to the cries of His people

He assures us that we need not fear;

What can harm us when He is near?
