In Times Of Need

In times of need, God is your source.
He'll help you stand and stay your course.
Sometimes all you see is loss,
But He will help you bridge across
Until you rest on solid ground.
In Him your footing will be sound.

God is gracious. How He cares!
He hears your cries and all your prayers.
He provides and watches o'er
The down and out, the weak and poor.
In times of flood, in times of drought,
His compassion reaches out.

When you think you just can't stand,
He will gently take your hand.
He will lift you to your feet
And help you overcome defeat.
He is waiting...just look up.
He alone can fill your cup.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof."
Psalm 46:1-3 KJV
