When the road is rough,
Hold on to the words of the Master.
When your pace has slowed
And you just can’t go any faster.
Put your hand in His
For He NEVER will let you go;
On a mountaintop
Or the lowest depths you know.
Just wait on the Lord
For He will renew your strength.
With wings like an eagle,
Friend – you will rise again.
When you wake or sleep,
The Lord watches over you;
Your soul He keeps –
His word is forever true.
He’s the King of Kings;
Jesus, your greatest Friend
He’s Alpha and Omega,
There from beginning to end.
