God Alone

God alone is my source of well-being;
I will encourage myself in Him.

When everything around me is shaking
And I can’t tell the end from the beginning
Then will I encourage myself in His love
And find my peace in His throne above.

When my dearest friends have forsaken me
And I can’t see my way out of the abyss
Then will I lean on my Father’s grace
And find my strength in His unchanging face.

When all is calm and everything is quiet
When life is good and there’s no reason to be upset
Even then will I praise His name
Because His faithfulness is always certain.

God alone is my source of well-being;
I will encourage myself in Him.
