Disappointment comes along
With no reprieve
And you find it hard to believe.
You must find courage to be strong
For life goes on.

Loved ones are taken away
Leaving you bereft every day
With no joy in your soul.
Don't give in to your sorrow
Lift your eyes toward tomorrow
For life goes on.

When bowed down with stress of life
Feeling overwhelmed by it all
Remember you have a friend on which to call
Who understands your pain
And will clear the rain
Making the sun shine once again
As life goes on.

When your body begins to fail
Racked with anguish and pain
Don't give up my friend
Look to God for healing
And His precious love revealing
Trusting Him as life goes on.

Nothing is too hard to bear
When you realize God really does care
And will walk with you through ups and downs
Showing you the way to endure
Feeling safe and secure
As life goes on.

When life gets you down
Taking away your smile leaving a frown
Look to the Author and Finisher of your faith
Who knows the beginning and the end
And the destiny of your soul
For it is He who is in control
As life goes on.
