When all about you is black with gloom,
And all you feel is pending doom.
When your bones are racked with grim despair -
When every breath is a gasp for air.
Keep on going, though you need to grope,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.

A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,
As your will to live has been bereft.
You've lost it all, it's just no use!
You can end it all, you need no excuse.
But throw away that piece of rope,
And give yourself a chance of hope.

Just give yourself another day,
Brushing aside what your thoughts may say.
This is your life and you can make a new start,
By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.
Taking baby steps in order to cope,
And minute by minute you'll build on your hope.

Build on your hope,. one day at a time,
Though the road be steep and hard to climb.
The hurts of the past - they should be dead.
The fears of the future are all in your head.
Just live in the present and refuse to mope
Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.

God is good all the time
He put a song of praise
in this heart of mine.
God is good all the time.
Through the darkest night
His light will shine.
God is good,
God is good all the time.

If you're walking through the valley,
there are shadows all around,
do not fear He will guide you,
He will keep you safe and sound.

He has promised to never leave you,
nor forsake you
and His word is true

We were sinners so unworthy,
still for us He chose to die.
He filled us with His Holy Spirit,
now we can stand and testify,
that His love is everlasting,
and His mercies, they will never end.

Though I may not understand,
all the plans You have for me.
My life is in Your hands,
and through the eyes of faith,
I can clearly see.
