What Do You Do?

What do you do when the walls come tumbling down?
When everything you seem to be working for
Comes to naught?

Who do you run to when the floor collapses?
When things lie shattered at your feet,
And you’re not sure of anything?

Run to Jesus!
He’s been there – when there was no friend, 
When He stood seemingly alone.

He’s been there – just His Father and Him, 
When storms threaten life.
Run to Jesus!

Throw yourself on His mercy and love.
He values you. He’ll keep you.
He loves you. He’ll comfort you.

Run into His arms!
Listen to His love-soaked whispers.
There’s nothing you need to do, except…

Run to Jesus!
