No One Can Avoid Calamity

No one can avoid calamity
As it comes, both, to the rich and the poor
Thus we must strive for ability
While drawing nigh unto the Lord

With so many things to do with our time
Who would not benefit from His light
He sustains us with insight even when we're tired
If we seek His will, we will know if our paths be right

With personal revelation, one can prioritize
And navigate life with confidence
Thus keeping commitments and family ties
As we're bathed in His help midst turbulence



And Upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit"
