Psalm 118:5-6

 

Psalm 118:5-6

When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

I’ve walked through times of such despair

I cried myself to sleep

And woke to wonder where I’d find

Some hope that I could keep.

But each night I cried out to You

And each day I rose up

To walk in faith that, by Your plan,

I’d find my flowing cup.

Some days I still cry out of grief,

But most days I find joy

Is everywhere I turn my gaze,

And it is seldom coy.

The Lord has lead me through hard times,

I know there will be more,

But I have learned that, though I’ll weep,

There will be joy in store.

So I will stand when storm winds rise

And I will not give up,

For I know He holds in His hand

My overflowing cup!
