When challenges encounter,
When trials beset me,
When obstacles and mountains
Are all that I see,

When my heart aches,
When tears brim in my eye,
When I long to escape,
To be free and to fly,

I look up to You,
Your Name I call,
I ask You to lift me
When I stumble and fall..

You smile at me,
You reach out Your hand,
You remind me lovingly
Only good You planned,

You show me the horizon
So beautiful and bright,
You kiss my pathway
With Your sweet sunlight,

You whisper of heaven,
Of treasures in store,
You show I have everything,
Indeed even more.

Yes, You dry my tears,
You kiss away each one
With soft sparkling rays
Of the shining sun.

So I need not worry
When I stumble and fall,
As You are here with me
Always through it all,

You bring joy to my heart,
A sparkle to my eye,
You set my soul free
To soar and to fly..

Yes, beautiful bliss
Is now the vista I see,
As You, my sweet Jesus,
Are here with me!

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our affliction,
so that we may be able to comfort those
who are in any affliction, with the comfort
with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
