When the day is so long,
And all your joy lies underneath;
When little things make you crazy,
Trust God and just breathe.

When the day is cold,
Aches and pains will not leave;
You want to shed those tears,
Trust God and just breathe.

When your patience is worn thin,
And your anger seems to seethe;
When you can't find the light,
Trust God and just breathe.

When time is short,
And you can't find the connecting rod;
When nerves are frazzled and fried,
Just breathe and trust God.

When happiness seems gone,
And life has lost its awe;
Remember God's eternal love,
Just breathe and trust God.
