Some gold among the sand

Do you feel buried among the sand?
Are you lost and don't want to be found?
Does this life get you down? 
Is it not exactly as you planned?
Can you not find some gold among the sand?
Like a prospector panning in life's stream...
Have you lost that interest: lost that gleam?
Do you find that nothing is as good as it once seemed?
Have you resigned yourself to digging endlessly?
Finding only more and more sand beneath your feet...
Are you sinking slowly?
Faster than you can dig yourself out?
Do you want to scream and shout?
Remember one simple little thing...
You are not alone: help is at hand...
All you need to do is see that tiny particle of gold
One little bit is all you need to find...
Each and every day seek to find that speck
That glow...though it might be slow...
If you can find one thing to be thankful for?
One little positive among all the hurt...
One speck of gold among the dross...
Forget about all those things you've lost...
Remember that Jesus has already paid your cost...
Our shepherd is not willing that any should be lost...
His words are like gold dust in the stream of life
His love is that particle that glows beneath...
See it shining through the murky depths?
Jesus loves you: He will not let you go
To Him: you are that gold dust that shines
To Him: you are that one particle He will seek
Only take him at his precious word...
Allow the prospector to sift that sand 
Through His fingers he will wash away your sin
Only let Him: yes, let Him enter in...
