The One who has chosen you is aware of each tear
Keep faith alight whatever befalls
And welcome whatever the season brings,
Though at present shadows obscure your pathway,
Lend an ear to the bird that sings.
Renew your mind and things will look different,
Conscious that prayer will lighten the load;
Hope without substance is a faithful thing,
Let’s with the Saviour make our abode.
Press on firmly, secure in the knowledge
His great love will banish all fear,
Ever mindful the One who has chosen you
Is aware of each inward tear.
Though life we know is variable,
Let’s give thanks for our unchanging Lord,
You will find the answer lies within Him
As we rely on the written word.
