Whatever Comes

When darkness whiles and shadows dance
And devils sing their songs
My heart full praise will lift its glance
To where my soul belongs

Though pain and torment walk my way
Though peace invades my night
No doubt will cause to lead astray
The soul that seeks The Light

No wealth or fame will cause to swerve
Nor vanities cause to sway
With heart and soul my God I’ll serve
Walking His chosen way

Have I to fear this world’s alarms?
From irritants to hide!
While safe within Salvation’s arms
God’s promises reside

Ailments may cause to while in bed
Demons may run amok
Satan could raise his ugly head
But I am on The Rock

I know in whom I have believed
God knows in whom I trust
I know The Spirit I’ve received
Will keep me from the dust

Regardless what this world may share
What darkness may afford
What fortune can with God compare?
What’s life without The Lord?

From hills and vales we children learn
God’s ways to understand
Till health and wealth draws no concern
Outside of Jesus’ hand
