We can’t avoid our battles
Or the trials we must face
Nor can we change the past
We may want to erase.
The only thing to do
Is face it with a hope
A faith in One above
Who gives us strength to cope.
His gentle hand covers us
As shelter from life’s rain
And His arms hold us close
When we are in pain.
When we cannot see
The reason for our strife
The Lord helps us to understand
The plan made for our life.
He never gives us more
Than we can all take
Even though, sometimes,
We feel that we might break.
His eye is ever watchful
Over each and every one
Helping us along our path
Until our work is done.
Then, He has prepared
A place for us above
Filled with all our dreams
Made with all His love.
This promise He will keep
If we just believe
And, until that final day,
Our side He’ll never leave.
