When it's hard and you can't cope
When life is all an uphill slope,
When you can't take it anymore
Life is tough that's for sure.

You feel you just can't see the light,
You just can't keep up the fight.
The sea of life is just too rough
You haven't the strength it's just too tough

In the storms and the waves,
You're battered in a daze.
When things look really black
Could it be a little prayer you lack.

Run into your Father's embrace,
He will enfold you in his grace.
Your Father takes away the pain
His love makes you smile again.

All the time you weren't alone
The path with God the light has shown.
So every time you want to give in
Remember the man who died for your sin.
