If I can endure for this minute
whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
or how dark the moment may be--
If I can remain calm and quiet
with all my world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
when everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
what I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
and that this will pass away too--
Then nothing in life can defeat me
for as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
for I know God will break all the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
and trying to fill me with fear,
For there is no night without dawning,
and I know that my morning is near.
