Praise God When You Can'T

Praise God When the silence won’t allow you to feel The colors in the sky, the rhythm in the melody, The kindness in the grace, the believing in the faith Praise God When the darkness won’t let you see Beyond the shadows that tell you about anxiety, The dread that reveals where the pain impales you, The fear where there was once so much assurance, The tears that remind you how your heart is breaking Praise God When the reflection shows you no pity And, cruelty seems to be your only friend, The shame and sorrow won’t simply forgive, The mercy is gone and the grace won’t flow Where there was once hope, now there is only gloom Praise God When the light leaves no renewal When the hope doesn’t come through When the memory is not even true When the feelings are so unsure Praise God When all hope seems gone and doubt lingers on When everywhere you turn, there is pain echoing the dark When nothing on earth feels as it should and, just beyond The dreams you once knew – there is a knowing… That only God can restore what has been Only God can make a way through this sin Only God can reveal the joy that won’t pretend Praise God When you don’t have the words to pray When you just can’t see a way When nothing can make you feel okay Praise God – and never forget to say Thank YOU to the ONE who gave His Son to save Every soul who believes, every soul who grieves Every soul who needs – thanks to Him, There is forgiveness, a second chance, a grace That gives the soul a reason to forever PRAISE!
