A Pocket Full of Pebbles

As we go through our own lives,
We push through trials and sin.
There is a lot of pain we see,
Upon this world we're in.

We all have have our own bad choices,
Little pebbles that weigh us down.
Which might not seem big on their own,
But together they bring a frown.

With pockets full of pebbles,
We paint smiles on our faces,
To show we have it in control,
In our schools and our work places.

The truth is we're crying in despair,
Looking for a gleam of light.
For a way to erase our heavy load,
And conquer our failing fight.

Where can we find some solitude
From our crazy lives around?
Where can we find a moment of peace?
To escape from all this sound?

God has prepared a way for us,
To repent and to lighten our load,
Christ's atonement lights the way,
Just follow the path back home.

He's waiting for us with open arms,
We just have to choose His way,
We are agents unto our own self's,
By what we do and say.

So choose the right, start right now,
We can change today.
Let go of the pebbles weighing you down,
Choose the better way.
