Whatever Comes My Way

Can we lift our hands and praise Him?
Can we lift our voice and say
Jesus, I will trust You
Through whatever comes my way

We have moments on the mountain top
When life is going good
To praise and thank our Saviour,
There's no question that we would
It's when we hit the valleys 
Between the highest peeks
Sometimes we lose our focus 
And the pain begins to speak

But can we lift our hands and praise Him?
Can we lift our hands and say
Jesus, I will trust You
Through whatever comes my way

What happens when the heartache
Is more than we can bare?
When sickness takes a loved one
Or it seems that no one cares
Do we lose sight of the promise
That He is by our side?
Or do we feel His gentle hands
That hold our hearts inside

He said He'll never leave us
His promises are sure
So hand in hand we'll walk this road
And with Him we'll endure!


So I'll lift my hands and praise Him
I'll lift my voice and say
Jesus, I will trust You
Through whatever comes my way

HI Bethany How are you? I hope everything is well with you. This is beautiful. Trusting in Jesus and praising him even when things are bad is difficult. But when we do it we get closer to him. Great job.
