If
the way becomes
too dark to see,
If life's too
cruel to bear,
If your path is
blocked by
adversity,
Hold on and say a
prayer.
If
your faith is weak
and hope is dim,
And you've lost
the way to go,
Lift up your voice
and pray to Him,
He'll light the
way; how well I
know.
I
have met despair in the darkest
night,
I've lived with a
pulsing pain,
I have been held
captive in a
dreadful plight,
I've shivered in a
cold, harsh rain.
But
I've seen a star
in the blackest
sky,
Been soothed by a
cooling breeze,
I have been set
free as a bird to
fly
Or rest under
shady trees.
So
whatever clouds
obscure your view,
However dark the
day,
God will shine a
light for you
If you hold on and
pray.
