Even in the face of adversity,
When the bare heath of life presents no bloom;
When light in the realms of space lay hidden,
Let not your wrinkle hopes run dry,
Tears and sweat must be stepping stones,
To see the brighter expected future.
Keep your eyes dry and spirit high
Looks to a better tomorrow than today has proved to be,
Tomorrow may bring brighter and better days,
Leaves that made last year beautiful, still strewn,
Slow and steady like one paddling the boat,
Haven’t you see a sailor with only one arm?
The busy bee has no time for sorrow,
You can hear the sea if you stand quite still,
Don’t quit now buddy, just run along,
In every situation just pray to your Lord,
And wash in a river and shine in the sun,
To rejoice in the tents of His prosperity.
