When...

When the bottom falls out
and I began to doubt,
I don't sit and pout,
I just stand up and shout.

When I climb the hill,
and seem to lose the thrill,
it's time to get are-fill,
and not sit still.

When I start confessing,
and get such a blessing,
it's so re-freshing to
have learned this lesson.

When I am glad,
I won't look sad,
and it's hard to be mad
with those who have done me bad.

When it's time for the just,
to be laid in the dust,
they better trust,
they've done everything they must.

When the going gets tough,
and the tough get going,
what I mean by that,
my faith is growing.

When I start praying,
to keep my mind from straying,
I watch what I am saying,
so there'll be no delaying.

When I am meek,
I turn the other cheek,
the Lord I began to seek,
to keep from getting weak.

God is so good,
He's done all He could,
like He said he would,
have we done all we should?

When we have our fun,
and the day is done,
at the setting of the sun,
how many souls will be won?
