My Soul is Tied in Knots
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
This week has not been very good
At least inside my mind,
I did not write the way I could;
The words so hard to find.
Anxiety attacks my soul
And hurts poetic thoughts.
This week has taken such a toll.
My soul is tied in knots!
Please help me God, I don't know why
This week has been this way.
Please give me faith to try and try
With You I will not stray!
