Though my heart aches and I feel alone and abandoned,
Though others reject me and cut me with their words,
Though I am shunned by some who do not understand
my plight,
Though the daytime in my life has turned into night.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
And not give up the fight.

Though my body ages and my youth fades,
Though I have no work or way to be paid,
Though my future is uncertain,
and loved ones walk away.
Though I lose all I hold dear in this life.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
Who gives and takes away.
And I will trust His sovereignty.

Though my heart is filled with grief,
Though I see no evidence of Him answering my prayers,
Though my eyes pour forth tears.
Yet I will rejoice in my God.
Whose love is forever near.
The only Love which will last forever.
