In Times Of Need

In times of need God is our source.
He helps us stand and stays our course.
Sometimes all we see is loss.
But He will help us bridge across
Until we rest on solid ground.
In Him our footing will be sound.

God is gracious - how He cares!
He hears our cries and all our 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."
Psalm 46:1 KJV
