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!
