In all our lives there are those times
That we never can forget;
They’re indelibly etched upon our minds—
Like a dew-laden rose or beautiful sunset.
Then there are times when our hearts are sad
And filled with so much sorrow—
That we wonder if we can endure the night
Or face another tomorrow.
It’s in those times when all hope seems gone
That we need to pause and pray,
For it’s when we stop to delight in Him
That we can make it through another day.
His Word is our light, when the path seems dim—
It’s our Anchor in stormy seas;
It’s the means by which we hear His quiet Voice
As we listen upon bended knees.
When our hearts are breaking, we find consolation
And words of comfort so dear;
As we reflect on His promises and such great love
We know that the Savior’s quite near.
Yes, in this life there’s naught that can compare
To our Lord’s precious words of life;
As we abide in them—yea, cling to them
They bring great peace amidst the strife.
The world may laugh and call us names
When we share with them God’s Word,
But in our hearts we know what’s right
Because of the sweetest story we’ve ever heard.
So, do not despair when you’re down-and-out
And your problems seem unending,
Simply delight yourself also in the living Lord
As He sets your heart to singing.
