Are you going to leave, too?

Are you going to leave, too?

Are you going to leave,
If in your life of faith in Me, stormy winds seem to continuously blow?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
If for your faith in Me, you endure much suffering, sorrow, and woe?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
If due to your faith in Me, your closest companion begins to act as your foe?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
If you work hard, but never receive material prosperity that you can show?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
When faithless men attack your hope in Me to make you feel you are not in the know?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
When things happen that you cannot understand leaving you perplexed and hollow?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
If you don’t ever meet and fall in love with Mrs. or Mr. Right, your dream gal or beau?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

Are you going to leave,
When your friends and family turn away from Me, because, Me, they truly misknow?
Lord, to whom would we go?
You alone have the words that give eternal life.

John 6:64-69 (Amplified Bible) 64But [still] some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. 65And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him [unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father. 66After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. 67Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? [And do you too desire to leave Me?] 68Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. 69And we have learned to believe and trust, and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God.
