Oh Troubled One

How far must thou go O' trouble One

before thy life is turned

the pain and anguish brought to thee

by choices thou hast earned


Dost thou not see the hurt brought on

both thee and them thou love

thy stubborn ways apart from God

to lead thee from above


The path thou trod hast not worked out

and always brings thee harm

dost thou not hear the Savior's cry

that rings thy heart's alarm


But as thou wilt be stroppy still

and obstinate thy soul

and dare not yield to Jesus' ways

the ever binding prole


And day by day and year by year

the same results thou see

and set aside the greatest ways

God made for thee to be


But thou hast hope in God above

His love shall never cease

until the pods of pigs thou eat

and bring thee to His peace


And suffer long thou dost not need

unless thy pride prevail

and keep thee from the grace of God

to everyone availed
