the sun shines and leaves blow

and my hope like autumn is turning brown

and I know it seems like I'm always falling down



but it does not matter to me

although it seems like it should

it's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say

rest in me little david

and dry all your tears

you can lay down your armor

and have no fear

'cause I'm always here

when you're tired of running

and I'm all the strength that you need



it's up hill both ways

tomorrow I swear I won't act this way

I know it seems like that is what I always say



you know I want to be like Jesus

but it seems so very far away

when will I learn to obey
