No Turning Back Poem by louis rams

when it seems like life on you
has turned its back
and against you the cards are stacked.
when it seems you need a friend
and there is no hand outstretched to lend.

when you feel it's time to conceed
and there's no one there to fill your needs.
that is when you turn to GOD.
it is not very hard.

we all have times when we feel alone
but my strength has always shown.
for i put my faith in GOD above
for he gives us all his love.

when we feel like we're walking
down a dead end street
and we don't seem to find relief.

that is when you stop to pray
and ask the lord to lead the way.

and when you feel that your
heart has hardened to all around
and you feel that every one puts you down.

then again you stop and pray
and you will hear the good lord say.
don't ever give up my child
for i have been with you
for quite a while.
on you i will never turn away
because of your faith you will not sway.

when you put your faith in me
this will be my guarantee.
that in prayer you will never be without
for i will erase all those doubts.
i will give you all that you need
and in this life you will succeed.

this is the reason that there is
no turning back
from your love and faith i will not slack.
