I'll Never Forsake You

O soul, are you weary from wave upon wave

Of grief and affliction whom no man can save?

Has sickness surrounded, or unending night?

Uncertainty stolen your joy and your might?

O doubting, o fearful– remember His care,

The helpless and hopeless need never despair

For from your afflictions His glory shall spring–

The deeper your sorrow, the louder you’ll sing!

Remember your Father– His promise, His love:

“I’ll never forsake you, this pain will not break you,

For I will remake you for unending joy;

My promise is faithful though now it is painful;

No power can trample my covenant love.”

Remember your Savior– His grief and His pain,

The lonely affliction, unmerited shame.

Though you had betrayed Him, He died in your place;

The joy set before Him He offers by grace.

Remember your Father– His promise, His love:

“I’ll never forsake you, this pain will not break you,

For I will remake you for unending joy;

My promise is faithful though now it is painful;

No power can trample my covenant love.”

"I'll Never Forsake You" by David Ward

"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

Hebrews 13:5
