We Shall Endure

The Hand that paints upon the air

Keeps us in His tender care.

My eyes fill with tears

As my thoughts fill with prayer

The unknown with its fear

Threatens doubt and despair

But we have His promises

To comfort; reassure

And there by His goodness

We shall endure

To win or succeed

We cannot succumb

To thoughts of defeat

Though our spirit grows numb

Our God is infallible

And we are secure

In Him; All-powerful

We shall endure

My heart fills with hope

As my thoughts fill with Him

When we cannot cope

And our vision grows dim

We lift our petitions

To Love perfect; pure

Then, by His will and wisdom

We shall endure

Nothing is impossible

To God; He beholds

And works our trouble

Into mysteries of gold

We see only glimpses

But we know for sure

That as God is our witness

We shall endure
