BITTERNESS – THAT HEAVY BEAST!
© All rights reserved ~ www.pattyskeys.co.za

Bitterness, that heavy beast that sits upon my back,
Trying to destroy my strength with every heartless attack!
Whip in hand he beats me sore, ‘till I’m weak upon the ground,
Then tries to drag me to his way, his hope to have me crowned!
Bitterness crowned upon my head, the weight of it so sore,
I cry out in my desperate plight, “Leave me! No more! No more!”
I will not take on that awful crown; I must get up again,
For bitterness keeps on striking me, taking advantage of all my pain!
Get up! Go on! Do not give up! Try and try again!
For bitterness will not crown me, or join me to his reign!
I’ll never give in to trial; I’ll keep searching for peace where I can,
No matter how hard I’m beaten, I know my God has a Plan.
I’ll keep my trust upon His Word, though this struggle is so great,
Bitterness will have no power and I’ll stand true at Heaven’s Gate.
