When darkness surrounds and the way is not clear,
And the presence of God does not feel near;
When the storms of life paralyze you with fear.
Never! No, never lose hope!
When the body is rife with sickness and pain;
Your life has no sunshine, only just rain;
The doctor's uncertain your health you'll regain.
Never! No, never lose hope!
When the load upon you is heavy to bear,
And you're alone and feel God is not there,
The ceiling above seems to block ev'ry prayer,
Never! No, never lose hope!
When the road you're traveling seems always uphill.
You seek God's wisdom, His peace to instill.
You want to move forward, but only stand still.
Never! No, never lose hope!
God will not forsake you; I know it is true.
His Word has promised He'll stay close by you.
So pray without ceasing, and whate'er you do,
Never! No, never lose hope!
