I REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED

TO BE SAD, OR TO CRY
I REFUSE TO BE DOWNHEARTED
AND HERE'S THE REASON WHY
I HAVE A GOD WHO'S MIGHTY
WHOSE SOVEREIGN AND SUPREME
I HAVE A GOD THAT LOVES ME
AND I AM ON HIS TEAM
HE IS ALL WISE AND POWERFUL
JESUS IS HIS NAME
THROUGH EVERYTHING IS CHANGABLE
MY GODS REMAINS THE SAME
MY GOD KNOWS ALL THAT IS HAPPENING
BEGINNING TO THE END
HIS PRESENCE IS MY COMFORT
HE IS MY DEAREST FRIEND
WHEN SICKNESS COMES TO WEAKEN ME
TO BRING MY HEAD DOWN LOW
I CALL UPON MY MIGHTY GOD
INTO HIS ARMS I GO
WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES THREATEN
TO ROB ME OF MY PEACE
HE DRAWS ME CLOSE UNTO HIS BREAST
WHERE ALL MY STRIVING CEASE
AND MY HEART MELTS WITHIN ME
HE GATHERS ME IN HIS ARMS
HE SOOTHES MY HEART AND SOUL
THE GREAT" I AM" IS WITH ME
MY LIFE IS IN HIS HANDS
THE SON OF GOD IS MY HOPE
IT'S IN HIS STRENGTH I STAND
I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED
MY EYES AARE ON MY GOD
HE HAS PROMISED TO BE WITH ME
AS THROUGH THIS LIFE I TRUD
I'M LOOKING PAST ALL MY CIRCUMSTANCES
TO HEAVEN'S THRONE ABOVE
MY PRAYERS HAVE REACHED
THE HEART OF GOD
I'M RESTING IN HIS LOVE
I GIVE GOD THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
MY EYES ARE ON HIS FACE
THE BATTLE IS HIS, THE VICTORY IS MINE
HE'LL HELP ME WIN THIA RACE
