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, Who's
sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, and by grace I'm on
His team. 

He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name; Though everything is
changeable, My God remains the same. My God knows all that's 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 strivings
cease. 

When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control; He gathers me
into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul. The great "I AM" is with
me. My life is in His hand. The "Son of the Lord" is my hope. It's in
His strength I stand. 

I refuse to be defeated. My eyes are on my God; He has promised to be
with me, As through this life I trod. 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 in everything. My eyes are on His face; The battle's
His, the victory mine; He'll help me win the race. I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me!!!!
