YOU ARE WORTH IT ALL
(A tribute to everyone that has experienced depression, desolation of spirit,
post traumatic stress [PTS], or even despairing unto death)

Based on Scriptures of "despairing unto death"...the greatest depression one can suffer…, this song is a song of hope, encouragement, and consolation to all saints. I wrote this song on the piano to dissuade a woman who was seriously contemplating suicide. Job, David, Elijah, Jeremiah, the Apostle Paul, and Jesus Christ all experienced desolation of the soul! I should say that our worth is not due to any merit of our own, but our inherit worth is because of Christ's own infinite imputed worth. On a similar theme, I wrote in another song entitled: Shopping Bag Lady, these lyrics: "We are all refugees on the earth, only the Lord is refuge and our worth."
Here are scriptural themes for this song:
"For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:" 2 Corinthians 1:8
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not." Isaiah 53:3 Prophecy of Jesus Christ

'CAUSE DON'T YOU KNOW
YOU ARE WORTHY OF SMILING IN LIFE
YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT THE STRIFE
AND PEACE SHALL COME
GENTLE SHALL IT RAIN UPON YOU NOW
TO SOOTHE THE PAIN
'CAUSE DON'T YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU KNOW
YOU ARE WORTH IT ALL
He has been there, two thousand years ago
He is acquainted with your grief and your sorrow, and your sorrow
And your sorrow
...
