Sometimes when dark and lonely days
Descend upon my soul;
It's in those times that I need to stop
And remember God's blessings of old.
How easy it is to forget what He's done-
Those times He's seen us through;
If we're not careful we'll think that they
Are small and oh so very few.
That's why we need to stop each day
And remember what God has done. . .
How His grace sustained us in those times
In the race that we have run.
Like windows of light in a darkened room
Are these memories to the soul;
They fill our hearts with newfound strength
And His joy that thrills us so.
So precious are these memories of ours
As we ponder them, one by one;
And soon we'll find ourselves praising God
For the battles that have been won.
Right now your path may seem uphill
Or beset by many a trial;
Just reflect on all that your Lord has done,
For that surely will bring a smile.
Be thankful for the love of Christ
That has been with you each day,
And praise His Name for His grace so free
That's shown you the new and living way.
Oh thank you, Lord, for precious memories,
That always light our hearts;
Help me to always remember how each day
You've been with me from the very start.
