Carry your cross through the sorrow and pain
Trust in your God; He will faithfully provide
Through every change, His love will remain

Through every valley, He leads you from fear
He walks every road, though the pathway is hard
And brings you through safely into His joy

When I cannot see, I will trust my Savior

The God who is with me will never forsake me
In Christ I am held, in Christ I am free

Calm my spirit, Lord, You have gone before me
You led me then, You will lead me today
When I can’t understand what Your hand is doing
I know that Your wisdom will make a way
The storms may be raging, the winds may blow
But Jesus still speaks, and the waters grow calm
The voice that commanded the waves to be still
Is speaking His peace to my heart again

Take courage, my heart, when loved ones are leaving
When tears fill my eyes and the night settles in
Jesus is near to the broken and grieving
His presence is stronger than sorrow and sin
He knows every burden, He carries my pain
He comforts the heart that is crying His name
And all that is lost in this broken life
He will restore in the fullness of Christ

I will trust when I cannot see
I will hope when the night is deep
Jesus, You are holding me
Jesus, You are holding me
I will stand on Your promises
I will rest in Your faithfulness
Though my heart may tremble still
I know my Savior always will

Take courage, my heart, the day is approaching
When faith will become sight and tears disappear
When sorrow and fear will no longer control me
And Christ will be all that I treasure and see
The trials of this life will finally be past
The love of our Savior will conquer at last
Take courage, my heart, our hope is secure
In Jesus our Savior, forever restored
