Living in this year had been so hard
Like walking on a road that is bald
Many a times God seemed like a cad
Who my afflictions had no regard
Sometimes my faith I had wanted to discard
Yes it was seriously that bad
There were days I couldn’t afford a pad
Birthdays celebrated without a card
Cos even to get what to eat was hard
There were moments I lost every strength I had
Cos my efforts to progress seemed to retard
Many times I was broken and sad
And wished from this life I had retired
I could run to none not even my dad
Cos though we are related by blood
By faith we are barred
But despite all the pressure I didn’t go mad
Neither did I make my home in the graveyard
I didn’t get mocked by a sympathizing crowd
And I didn’t get stuck in the mud
Cos through it all, Christ was all I had
His word has been my shield and guard
He has caused me to escape the flood
Yes, I have enjoyed his grace, like custard
To my life a year he has cared to add
And renewed my days like that of a lad
And for that I am so glad
He’s been a good God
In a year so bad
