Freedom From Anger

[Susan Adair-Shankle]

There are many times when things can make us upset 
The stresses of life which we try so hard to forget 
Giving in to anger brings nothing but a hardened heart 
A serious condition that can tear your life & soul apart 
The Word instructs us don’t let the sun go down 
In our lives which can leave us with a depressing frown 
We are to never to give in to anger or wrath 
That only throws us off of righteousness’ path 
The Lord knows about the pain this sinful world can bring 
But remember, anger doesn’t solve anything 
God’s promises of love can seem difficult to concentrate 
When one’s life is filled with so much bitterness and hate 
What are the results of anger? Rage, guilt and pride 
This happens when walls of mistrust are built up inside 
When anger is loosed, what are the results for one’s soul: 
Peace of mind, calmness, serenity, and complete control 
Remember, “vengeance is mine” said the Lord of host 
He understands the frustrations of life the most 
He tells us to keep our minds on Him at all times 
For He will keep you in perfect peace each and every time
