Praise God

Praise God when there is no joy or delight only pain
Praise God when you have lost everything you could gain
Praise God in the shadows when your happiness fades away
Praise God when you have fallen and you blue skies turn to gray

Praise God when the closest ones to you have turned to sin
Praise God when struggles have swallowed you up within
Praise God through the hurt, knowing that there will be much
Praise God when your weak with only him as your crutch

Praise him through all the days of anger and strife
Praise him through everying going on in your life
