Praiseworthy
When the road looks bleak
Shadows masking all that I seek
There comes a promise, a word
Grace from the maker who preferred
To give His inspiration and hope
So that the discouraged could cope
When the darkness is all around
Heart and soul is so cast down
There is the light of a Savior’s love
Raining down joy from heaven above
Enlightening the spirit with elation
Because He came to bring us salvation
When the worries bring such despair
Dread and fear that seems to ensnare
There is One who came down to earth
Showing us the way to the new birth
So that our souls would be saved
In His book, our names engraved
When the world seems so sad and lonely
And you feel like you might be the only
One who knows that this world of sin
Can’t take away the love that lives within
Where He is alive, the Holy Spirit, the One
Who assures that His love won’t be outdone
When the heart is broken and tears come
Though in pain, you can always escape from
The sorrow by allowing your heart to follow
The One who cares for even the swallow
The One who brings peace to the fearful
Reassurance, love – so the heart is cheerful
When the light fades from your eyes
You can be sure His love always satisfies
With Him, there is absolutely no doubt
His kindness and mercy make a way out
From the anxiety and dismay, the dread
Bringing wonders so marvelous instead!
