NEVER HOPELESS
by: James J. Metcalfe
As life goes on from day to day
And God is always near
There is no place for hopelessness
There is no need to fear.
Lift up your eyes, behold the skies
The bright, the dark, the dim
Whatever weather there may be
It is ordained by Him.
Do not despair because of some
Injustice done to you
Doubt not all other souls on earth
Because of one or two.
Do not condemn yourself too much
For wrongs that you have done
It may deplete your moral strength
In battles to be won.
Lift up your heart, have faith in God
And say a fervent prayer
For as you trust in Him, so He
Will keep you in His care.
