And what cha' gonna say when you don't know what to pray
And where you're gonna run when you don't know where to hide
And what cha' gonna do when the pain just won't subside
I say oh, oh, oh, oh
My soul is crying out I'm saying oh, oh, oh , oh
When my heart is feeling really really low I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When I don't know where to go I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, oh
That's my soul crying out
Yeah yeah yeah
That's my soul crying out
Yeah yeah yeah

Sikhumbuzo Sithole
what a song Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will never change. His word says he will never leave us and though all shall come to pass, but HE will still remain.. and reign forever. Over all situations, trials and tribulations. Where else should we turn to? He holds all our tears in his hands. Trust him and he will prove himself. His love is everlasting and his mercies are new EVERY morning. Be blessed.

The soul of man is a strong base that must remain strong cos if its weakened, it affects your entire being. Your existence lies in it. We can only prosper as our soul (not heart) prospers. Lord help keep my soul through the PAIN for it hurts so bad but YOU will always be there for me. I may cry oh! oh!! oh!!! oh!!!! but HE carries all our burden and helps us live again! HE loves you Juanita Bynum and i love you too, you have been a blessing.
