Lyrics

Verse 1         

O God of our salvation
We cry out in our pain
While sorrow is abounding
Death’s shadow will remain
O Father can you hear us?
O Father are you there?
We’re clinging to your promise
But sinking in despair

Chorus          

In this world we will have trouble
But we take heart, we take heart
(twice)

Verse 2         

O God of our salvation
You gave Your only Son
Who came to suffer gladly
For evil we have done
Now death has been defeated
That stone was rolled away
Yet trials still increasing
And earth is in decay

Chorus          

In this world we still have trouble
But we take heart, we take heart
(4 times)

Verse 3         

O God of our salvation
We long to see the day
When grief not worth comparing
Will all be swept away
Our momentary struggle
And temporary pain
Will finally be over
When Jesus comes again

Chorus          

Jesus will return in glory
So we take heart, we take heart
Joyful ending to this story
So we take heart, we take heart
(twice)

Chorus 2

Jesus will return in glory
(One day He will come again)
So we take heart, we take heart
(He will come to take us home)
Joyful ending to this story
(Are we ready for that day?)
So we take heart, we take heart
(I am ready! Praise His name!)
(twice)
