We Will Survive

There are times when we feel we are all alone,
When things have gone wrong in our once perfect home.

We must look to God our Father for encouragement,
As we strive for daily survival in our world of commitment.

Do we give up and throw our life’s work away,
Or do we settle back and let God have His way?

It does not matter what price we may one day pay,
We know God has a hand in it to make it His way.

Fear not, my friends, of what tomorrow may bring,
God has full control and will bring us out of anything.

It does not matter what time of the hour it seems to be,
God sits on his throne and listens to His children He sees.

He always knows just how much we can bear,
But, He always gives us friends who really care.

It does not matter what heartaches we carry today,
God always sits and listens as He guides us on our way.

Our answers may not come just as we so desire,
But, Our Father knows our needs and heals us with compassion of fire.

Do not ever give up the ship that is still afloat,
Jesus will come to us when it’s time to give up hope.

We must often stop and give a minute of our precious time,
To give Holy praises to our Father who has been so very kind.

I know He hears us when we faithfully pray,
He has to hear us; He is safely guiding our way.

God will help us as we travel down our long, painful road,
He knows our burdens and will always balance out our load.

We must keep our faith in God’s heavenly powers,
And let His angels minister to us in those delicate hours.

Keep your eyes focused toward God’s heavenly sky.
You might feel the presence of His Holy Spirit passing by.

We will all face at least one struggle within this era of time,
But, God will surely return for all Christians He left behind.

It does not matter what pains we give to Him on high,
We know God will help us survive because He’s standing by.

While we struggle through many battles to stay constantly revived,
We won’t give up the fight; we will SURVIVE!
