If You Haven't Succeeded...

IF YOU HAVEN'T SUCCEEDED, MAYBE
"NEW MANAGEMENT" IS NEEDED!

NOTHING GOES RIGHT,
EVERYTHING'S WRONG,
YOU STUMBLE AND FALL
AS YOU TRUDGE ALONG,
THE OTHER GUY WINS,
BUT YOU ALWAYS LOSE,
WHATEVER YOU HEAR
IS ALWAYS "BAD NEWS"...
WELL, HERE'S SOME ADVICE
THAT'S WORTH A TRY,
BUSINESSMEN USE IT
WHEN THEY WANT A "NEW HIGH"-
SO "OLD MANAGEMENT" GOES
AND THE "NEW" COMES IN,
FOR THIS IS THE WAY
"BIG BUSINESS" CAN WIN
SO IF YOU ARE TRYING
TO MANAGE YOUR LIFE,
YET ALL AROUND
IS CHAOS AND STRIFE,
MAKE UP YOUR MIND
THAT YOU, TOO, NEED A CHANGE
AND START MAKING PLANS
TO SOMEHOW REARRANGE
THE WAY YOU THINK
AND THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS
THAT ARE HINDERING YOU...
THEN PUT YOURSELF UNDER
GOD'S "MANAGEMENT" NOW,
AND WHEN HE TAKES OVER
YOU'LL FIND THAT SOMEHOW
EVERYTHING CHANGES,
"OLD THINGS PASS AWAY,"
AND "THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT"
BECOMES "THE BRIGHTNESS OF DAY"-
FOR GOD CAN TRANSFORM
AND CHANGE INTO "WINNERS"
THE LOSERS, AND SKEPTICS
AND EVEN THE SINNERS!

BE MERCIFUL TO ME,
O GOD, BE MERCIFUL TO ME!
FOR MY SOUL TRUSTS IN YOU;
AND IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS
I WILL MAKE REFUGE,
UNTIL THESE CALAMITIES HAVE PASSED BY.
