In a world of pain and loss
Where evil seems to reign as sovereign boss

In a world of suffering and trial
Where grief robs the joy from every smile

Where does on look for help and hope?
How does one find strength to cope?

When despair plants its malicious seed
And sorrow becomes the voice of your creed.

When darkness and clouds envelope and mask
When only to hopelessness do you clasp

Where does on look for relief?
How does one cling to faith and belief?

BUT JESUS

Yes, the world may be dark and grim
Filled with evil, pain, and sin 

BUT JESUS

Yes, the world may be filled with hurt
That is impossible to avoid or skirt

BUT JESUS

Yes, things may be horrendously bad
Filled with things that leave one immeasurable sad

BUT JESUS

Yes, things may be worse than we know
Ill will and bad tidings to bestow

BUT JESUS

Yes, feelings of abandonment may persist
Against loneliness and isolation we resist

BUT JESUS

Yes, failure may be mine to own
Light upon my failure being shone

BUT JESUS

My flesh may well prevail all too often
Temptation rending and into sin does blossom

BUT JESUS

Trials and hardships may be a blowing tempest
Battering me with its very best

BUT JESUS

BUT JESUS

BUT JESUS

That is the only refrain I need
The victor cometh on his radiant white steed.

BUT JESUS

Herein is my hope, my confidence, my delight
Joy springs eternal while He is in sight

BUT JESUS

Yes, upon those two words I hang my hope
Finding peace with all this life to cope

BUT JESUS!!
