Just Believe

When life has given you all you can take,
And your fragile world has begun to break;
When doubt has clouded your every thought;
When all that you have has turned to "have not";

Look inside yourself, do not despair.
Search until you find the answer in there.
Explore the silence between each heartbeat.
Find what protects you from certain defeat.

Lying within the quiet of your heart
Is a key that will make your doubts depart.
Faith is that key! Let us choose to believe
In all that our hearts can surely conceive.

By our faith, our spirits can be defined,
And when there is doubt, seek, and we will find
Strength from our Father, and all He can do.
Look deep in your soul, He's waiting for you!

All may seem lost today and tomorrow,
But do not worry. Forget your sorrow.
Just believe, my friend, and it can be done!
Believe, and know that the battle is won!

Through faith in God, you can do anything!
Believe in the comfort that He can bring.
Have faith in the love He holds for you!
Know it in your heart, and you shall pull through!
