Keep On Keepin’ On
You gotta keep on keepin’ on… when the way seems long
You gotta keep on keepin’ on… till God gives you a song
Life is really hard sometimes… but you can’t let it get you down
You just gotta keep on keepin’ on… till a smile replaces that frown
Don’t let fear defeat you… just let faith take its rightful stand
And keep on keepin’ on… my dear friend… as the Lord holds tightly to your hand
I know you’ll want to give up sometimes… and just lay down and cry
But what good does that do you… when you believe Satan’s lie?
He would like to beat you down… so far… that you never will survive
But when you trust in God’s sweet love…your faith He will revive!
He always keeps His promises… cuz our God does not lie
He collects your tears in a bottle…and hears your every cry
His heart is touched by your deep grief…He always understands
He suffered much…died in your place…and met righteous demands
We fall short, but He did not…He was the perfect Lamb
Our sins He laid upon that cross and stretched out nail pierced hands
His mission was to ransom us…and buy us with His blood
Save us from the depths of Hell…and from the raging flood
Life feels just like that sometimes…like the flood will pull us down
Like the waves are crashing upon us… and we’re just about to drown
He’s always aware of our struggles…He’s there to reach out His hand
He’ll pull you up from the stormy sea… and set you on dry land
So just cry out to Jesus… and surrender to His peace
You’ll feel His strong compassion…and He’ll give you sweet release
You’ll feel like you can make it…when He’s there by your side
If you’ll just accept His charity…and let go of all your pride
He’ll be your best cheerleader…when you and He become a team
And you’ll just … keep on keepin’ on…as you realize every dream!

Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your poems!
Howdy Linda!
Very nice and encouraging poem for Toni and all that read this post.
Sometimes the things we go through or happen to us can get to us. Knock the wind right out of our sails.
Loving and encouraging words are life to us.
Encouraging words are light to our darkness.
Your words and poems are life and light to many!!!
Keep on keeping on.
God bless you and may you have a sweet week.
