Jesus Our Only Hope

Where is the shelter for thy drowning heart
Refuge from the stromy winds
That strive to havoc thy life and depart

Where is rest from the unceasing pain
When all thy strength has ceased 
And all thine efforts ends up in vain

When darkness surrounds thee
And there is no way ahead to see
When thy hopes are wrecked 
Leaving thy souls out of deck

Where do thyself go??
Lo,there stands a man with arms open wide 
"all ye people with burden and heavy laden come unto me I will give you rest" says he
Where there is peace on his side 

O what comforting father is he 
A light in the darkness
For thine eye to see

Place thy life on thee 
For he is God, 
For thou'st want him to be
