It's Up To Us

We can wallow in the quagmire of doubt, failure and despair

Or recognize our brokenness and yield to God in prayer

We can flounder in the quicksand founded in fear’s futile plight

Or we can cling to the lifeline of faith fixed beyond our sight

We can tumble with the tempest or surrender, safe, secure

Believing in God's promises and thus through Him endure

We can worry ‘bout the morrow and the sorrow it may bring

Or choose not to borrow trouble but trust God in everything
