The battle within me wages on,
As I try to be like my Lord;
Frustration and pain are always present,
As I seek and search for the door.

I beg my Lord for release,
I pray the Holy Spirit be my guide;
But day after day the war is fought,
So I come back to Jesus with a sigh.

Frustration when living with a special needs child,
Reaches heights many will never know;
How can I do this day after day,
And still let my love for God show.

My strength is found in Jesus Christ,
I call to Him day after day;
Without Him my life would only be pain,
But He knows and shows me the way.

If you catch me on a bad day when I'm sad,
Don't be surprised to see a tear;
But remember my Jesus is always with me,
And He stays year after year .
