When I'm Blue
When I'm blue as blue can be
and it seems no one cares fo rme,
When dark clouds come gatherin' o'er
and darkens life's peaceful shore.
When the trials of life fall past
and the burdens on me are cast,
When I think I can stand no more
and my heart aches sad and sore.
It is then I look up to the one who did
In whose blood I can hied
until the storms of life are past
and heavens goal I've reached at last.
I call upon him he who cares
He helps each burden to bare
He hears and answers me
making me feel so free.
He lifts up my drooping heart,
helps me to do my part.
He cheers me when I am sad,
Helps me to feel glad.
And if to him I stay true,
I can trust him when I'm blue
and my troubles he will share
helping me my Cross to bare.
