ANTIDOTE

by Catherine Lawton

~

Some things in this world make me mad —

But I cannot live with hate.

The One whose anger had no sin

Plants His love within.

Some things in this world frighten me —

But I cannot live in fear.

The One who calmed the thundering storm

Keeps me safe and warm.

Some things in this world are abhorrent to me —

But I cannot live in disgust.

The One who cast the demons out

Gives a victory shoutl

Some things in this world vex my nerves —

But I cannot live in tension.

The One who took all mankind's stress

Gives vitalizing rest.
