When the world makes you blue
And you don't know what to do
Don't despair look ye here
To a manger that holds dear
A baby that would bear
Your sins, guilt and fear
Take a rest on that one
Who loves you so greatly
That he would suffer a cross misrable
For you to erase
The sins of your soul
And take thee forth
To a heaven up above
To love and cherish you
In an eternal abode
Look to Him I say
And to the devil say nay
Depart from me
You worker of inequity
Shall I befriend thee?
An enemy of my soul
Nay, I shall resist thee
And with the help of my lord
I shall overcome thee
Say to Satan, get thee behind me
And lo, you will feel again
As I feel anon
The joy of my beloved reborn
Blue
Dealing with depression!?
