Comfort: A Conversation with God

Contrary to popular belief, the following lyrics, officially done by humans Simon and Garfunkel, is a conversation God wants to have with you. This is what He wants you to know: "When you're weary, Feeling small, When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all. I'm on your side. When times get rough, And friends just can't be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you're down and out, When you're on the street, When evening falls so hard I will comfort you. I'll take your part. When darkness comes And pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Sail on Silver Girl (or boy), Sail on by Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way See how they shine. If you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind."* "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort," (2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJV) Love, Beau
