My Journey to God

Do You Feel There is No Hope?

In your times of deep despair, do you feel there is no hope?
As the darkness closes in on you, do you feel you cannot cope?
As you struggle on through every trial, do you say, “When will it end?”
As you cry yourself to sleep at night, do you wish you had a friend?
When your body is racked with aches and pains, do you feel you’re all alone?
When you think about the future, do you fear the great unknown?

There is someone who really cares, and He hears your every cry.
His arms are reaching out to you, and on Him you can rely.
When things close in around you, He sees your fear and doubt.
He wants to hold you in His arms, and He will never cast you out.
As you stumble through the darkness, He will be your guiding light.
He wants to wipe away your tears, for you are precious in His sight.
Reach out right now to Jesus, and let Him take complete control.
He will touch that heavy burden, and He will touch and make you whole.
He is reaching out His arms to you, and He wants to be your friend.
Let Him take you in His loving arms, for His love will never end.
