WHEN YOUR FUTURE SEEMS SO HOPELESS
AND YOUR HURT WITH NO END IN SIGHT
THE LORD WILL COMFORT YOU AND HOLD YOU
THROUGH YOUR LONG AND LONELY NIGHT
WHEN THIS WORLD HAS USED YOU UP
AND ITS LIES HAVE LEFT YOU BROKEN
HIS LOVE CAN HEAL THOSE WOUNDS
AND HIS WORD YOU CAN TRUST IN
GOD GAVE YOU A VOICE TO SING
MY GOD IS GOOD, MY GOD IS LIGHT
AND GOD GAVE YOU HANDS TO RAISE
MY GOD IS LOVE, MY GOD IS LIFE
GOD GAVE YOU A VOICE TO SING
MY GOD IS GOOD, MY GOD IS LIGHT
GOD GAVE YOU HANDS TO RAISE
MY GOD IS LOVE, MY GOD IS LIFE
EACH DAY THAT COMES THE MYSTERY UNFOLDS
LIKE WAVES UPON THE SAND
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM TO COUNT ON
NO GREATER FRIEND TO HOLD YOUR HAND
AND IF THIS WORLD HAS USED YOU UP
AND ITS LIES HAVE LEFT YOU BROKEN
HIS LOVE WILL HEAL THOSE WOUNDS
HIS WORD YOU CAN TRUST IN
CHORUS
OUTRO
HE’S THE STRONG AND MIGHTY TOWER
HE’S THE RULER OF ALL THINGS
HE’S THE CLEANSING LIVING WATER
THE ONE OF WHOM CREATION SINGS
HE’S THE FATHER AND CREATOR
OH HE’S THE SPIRIT, HE’S THE TRUTH
HE’S THE REFUGE FROM THE STORM
AND HE’S GOD TO ME AND YOU
OH HE’S GOD TO ME AND YOU
A young military man was at the point of taking his life when he remembered my son-in-law Ralph’s entreaty to watch the movie he had produced “Genesis, Paradise Lost.” Instead of cutting his wrists, he felt compelled to rent the movie and in the next couple of hours had a purpose to live. He watched the movie three times in the next few days, then contacted Ralph to tell him that he had saved his life. Ralph, very humbled by this wondrous event, reminded this young man that it was God that had saved him and that he was just God’s messenger, sharing the truth that our God is good and comforts us in our trials so that we can comfort others in their sufferings 2 Co 1:3,4.
God has given each one of us a voice to praise our Lord. So whatever gift you have received, use it to glorify the One (Jesus Christ), who is worthy of our praise.
