I REFUSE TO BE
DISCOURAGED
I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted, And here's the reason
why...
I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and
supreme;
I have a God who loves me, And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable, My God remains
the same.
My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to
the end,
His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest
friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my
head down low,
I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten To rob me from my
peace;
He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my
strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me, And weakness
takes control;
He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart
and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me, My life is
in His hand,
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope, It's
in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated, My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me, As through this
life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances, To
Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God, I'm
resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything, My eyes are on
His face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine; He'll help
me win the race.
