TAKE HEART MY FRIEND

To my friend Anne-Marie.

Take Heart, My Friend

Take heart, my friend, we'll go together
This uncertain road that lies ahead
Our faithful God has always gone before
And He will lead the way once again

Take heart, my friend, we can walk together
And if our burdens become too great
We can hold up and help one another
In God's love, in God's grace


Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us
As He has been all the days of our lives
Our assurance every morning
Our defender in the night


If we should falter when trouble surrounds us
When the wind and the waves are wild and high
We will look away to Him who rules the waters;
Who speaks His peace into the angry tide

He is our comfort, our sustainer
He is our help in time of need
When we wander, He is our Shepherd
He who watches over us never sleeps


Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us
As He has been all the days of our lives
Our assurance every morning
Our defender every night


Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us
As He has been all the days of our lives
Our assurance every morning
Our defender in the night.
