Words of Life

When times have done their best to bind All joy for living from my mind When careful plans they all unwind And peace is just too hard to find When days have turned my dreams to dust And treasured things have gone to rust And when it seems that there are just Too few around that I can trust Then words of life you give to me True and tender, strong and free They bring me back and let me see The plans of love you have for me I didn't think I'd ever find Someone so good, Someone so kind But it is so, you have designed peace for my heart, peace for my mind There are no words to thank you, Friend New joy, new peace to me you send My life you've chosen to defend And offer love that has no end And words of life you give to me True and tender, strong and free They bring me back and let me see The plans of love you have for me.
