God at Our Side

God is forever at our side
Wherever we may be,
In every happy moment and
In time of tragedy,

In every disappointment and
Each wonderful surprise,
And all the lonely moments that
Are filled with tears and sighs.

In every shadow on the path
Where we may walk today,
And to the farthest corner of
The world where we may stray.

God hears our every whisper, and
He listens to each prayer,
And so we have no reason to
Be sad or to despair.

God is forever at our side
We have no need to fear,
As much as we have faith in Him
And we are real sincere.
