When our hearts are heavy~burden'd
with darken'd thoughts of gloom . . .
things just seem to go from bad to worse
flashing neon signs of doom ~

Like a witches' pot of poison
brewing up more toil & trouble . . .
incantations spawned in Hades
to cause every trial to double ~

Creating such nightmarish dreams
with evil monsters lurking there . . .
constricting throats with terror
leaving hearts in need of prayer ~

Then our Champion, strong & mighty
reminds of satan's grand defeat . . .
Jesus Christ restores our courage
bringing triumph, oh, so sweet ~

For FAITH replaces fearfulness
Restores HOPE where despair reigned . . .
Whispers PEACE to quiet the storms
proving satan's schemes are feigned ~

Prayer finds its way to Heaven
reaching up on FAITH'S sure wings . . .
replacing every gloomy forecast
assuring us GOD CHANGES THINGS !
