I refuse, I refuse to be discouraged,
to be sad or even cry,
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here's the reason why;
I have a guy who's might,
who Sovereign and supreme,
I have a guy who loves me and,
I am on his team.
He is all wise and Powerful,
Jesus is his name,
though everything is changeable,
my God Remains the Same,
my God knows all that's happening,
Beginning to the end,
his presence is my comfort
and he is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes
to weaken me,
to bring my head down low,
I call up on my mighty God,
into his arms I go;
when circumstances threatens
to rob me of my peace,
He draws me close into his breath,
where all my striving cease.
When my heart melts within,
and weakness takes control,
He gathers me into his arms
he soothes my heart and soul;
The Great "I Am" is with me,
my life is in his hand,
the son of the "Lord" is my
hope,
it's in his strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated,
my eyes are on my god,
he has promised to be with me,
as through this life I trod,
I am looking past all my,
circumstances to Heaven's,
throne above my prayer, has,
reached the heart of God,
I'm resting in his love,
peace be still.
Give thanks to him who made
the heavens so skillfully,
I give God thanks in
everything, my eyes are
on his face, the battles his,
the victories mind,
He'll help me win the race.
