One Thing Can Always Cheer Me.
One thing can always cheer me when I'm feeling sad and low,
When I tire of daily trials that I have to undergo,
When those who should be closest, seem like people I don't know,
Is the thought that God is near me and caring for me so.
One thing can always cheer me when I do not understand
How pain and sadness in our lives can get so out of hand.
When the best of human efforts don't meet the days' demands
I am always feeling better when I know I'm in God's hands.
One thing can always cheer me more than anything I've known,
And shows me I will never have to struggle on my own;
For no matter what might happen I will never be alone,
The thought that always cheers me is that God is in my home.
Our lives are in God's loving hands, in everything we do,
He is with us constantly, He always sees us through;
And if our faith is strong enough we'll never walk alone,
For with His great and perfect love He'll take us to His home.
