Looking Beyond

 

 Sometimes we have to look beyond -

Beyond so many things

Perhaps he confines of a room,

Beyond our sufferings.

 

With eyes of faith, we look beyond

The now, with all its fear;

We know a God Who is all-wise

Will one day make things clear.

 

And so, we look beyond ourselves

To what the Lord can do.

With Him all things are possible.

In time He'll bring us through.

 

But until then, we must go on

And pray for strength to cope.

Our heart must never lose its song,

Or ever cease to hope.

 

With gaze that's set beyond the clouds,

We'll keep on pressing on

So thankful that through eyes of faith

We see a brighter dawn!
