Wolves of Worry

Wolves of Worry
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
I walk these city streets
Too often alone
I watch the prosperous
And those without a home
Yet, while they walk about
And never shed a tear
They never know that I
Still daily live in fear

[Pre-Chorus]
They never know about
My struggles and my pain
About my worries and how
They drive me insane
Yet, in the madness
When I don’t know what to do
I simply say a prayer
And call, Lord, out to You

[Chorus]
For you keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
For you crush all my delusions
And you resurrect my faith
For you keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
For you crush all my delusions
And you resurrect my faith

[2nd Verse]
This plight that I have known
Since I was just fifteen
Still robs me of my joy
And robs me of my peace
And I can’t live with change
Or face all of my fears
It’s getting harder to
Remember You are near

[Pre-Chorus]
To simply go outside
And feel Your gentle breeze
To maybe make some friends
And have some company
Yet, in this battle Lord
And what remains my fight
I will be still and know
That You will hear my cries

[2nd Chorus]
For you’ll keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
For you’ll crush all my delusions
And you’ll resurrect my faith
For you’ll keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
For you’ll crush all my delusions
And you’ll resurrect my faith

[Bridge]
So, Lord come and fill me
Renew my heart and mind
Give me eyes to see you
And help me, Lord to fight
So, Lord come and fill me
Renew my heart and mind
Give me eyes to see you
And help me Lord to fight

[Outro]
Lord, keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
Lord, end all my delusions
And then stir my soul to praise
Lord, keep my wolves of worry at bay
(Oh, Lord)
Lord, silence all my voices
And then stir my soul to pray
