'Oh, woe is me, I am undone.
My burden's so great, wherever I run.
The labor, hard, the task so severe.
All my hope seems to turn into fear.
'Oh, woe is me, I am undone.
What can I do, the race to be won?
Can I not reform, to pass heavens test:
in human works, striving to be best?
'Oh, woe is me, I am undone.
Is there no peace for me under the sun?
I've reached my limit, I cannot go on.
In spite of my effort, the direction is down.
'Oh, woe is me, I am undone.
It seems my work has lead me to ruin.
I must have help, I can't do this alone.
because, with my work, my sin I must own.
'Oh, woe is me, I am undone,
Lord, you must save me or I am gone.
I cannot tread this winepress alone.
Come into my heart, make me your own.
'Oh, woe so frightful, where are you now?
The Wind of God has replaced you somehow.
Changing this burden filled heart and mind,
into a calm and hope filled kind.
No woe to me now, I'm not undone.
I trust the work of Jesus the Son.
There's no other hope, I've looked everywhere.
So, I've cast on the Lord my every care.
John 3:8 and Ezek. 37:8 thru 11 "....and then the Wind blew "
