God is Near



 

Let not your heart be troubled

For God is by your side,

Let not your thoughts be weary now

With such a worthy guide,

The night must bring the dawning soon

And then the time will come,

When all you've dreamed of will come true

And heartaches will be done.

 

Let not your heart be troubled

But keep a courage sure,

This trying time will quickly pass

And hurts you must endure,

You must keep faith in what is right

However dark the day,

However deep the shadows are

That fall upon your way.

 

Let not your heart be troubled

Let not your soul be sad,

But keep a mem'ry sweet and dear

Of all the joys you've had,

Walk hand in hand along the road

To reach the rainbow's end,

Let not your heart be troubled now

For God will be your friend.
