This One I Was Right To Be Dreadin

This One I Was Right To Be Dreadin’-

This one I was right to be dreadin’-

I’ve just arrived home from yet another weddin’.

Yet another couple united.

I know I’m supposed to be excited.

I am happy for them.

It brings me joy to see my glad friends.

A little part of me is gloomy-

But I don’t mean to be!

A little part of me is envious-

But I know I shouldn’t be jealous!

A little part of me is ready to cry-

But why, why, why?

Why do I feel this way?

I should be happy for my friend’s special day!

More of my friends will be marrying soon-

A delighted young bride and a thrilled young groom.

Lord, help me to happier be-

Please take away this misery!

I’m sorry for not doing what was right.

Please forgive me, my dear Lord and make me delight

Delight in the joy of my friends.

And have a peace that through me transcends!
