Because we live by simple faith, with beauty ever near, Because we only know a trust, and never have a fear - Our hope is always the same; our God will see us through. And we shall find a part of Him in everything we do. And sometime though your heart can't smile, though dark the road you trod, you'll always find your way at last, because there is a God.
