He is there

When nothing seems to be going right,

When earth’s cares hide his heavenly light,

God’s hand still is holding tight,

He is always there.

When friends forsake you and sorrows come,

When doubts arise- so troublesome,

His promise will help you overcome,

He is always there.

And when death’s cold supplants life’s warm,

When all hell’s doubts around you swarm,

Take sight! Take sight upon that heavenly form!

He is always there.
