Lyrics
O soul, are you weary from wave upon wave
Of grief and affliction whom no man can save?
Has sickness surrounded, or unending night?
Uncertainty stolen your joy and your might?
O doubting, o fearful-- remember His care,
The helpless and hopeless need never despair
For from your afflictions His glory shall spring--
The deeper your sorrow, the louder you'll sing!
Remember your Father-- His promise, His love:
Chorus:
"I'll never forsake you, this pain will not break you,
For I will remake you for unending joy;
My promise is faithful though now it is painful;
No power can trample my covenant love."
Remember your Savior-- His grief and His pain,
The lonely affliction, unmerited shame.
Though you had betrayed Him, He died in your place;
The joy set before Him He offers by grace.
