Troubling Times
Behold the beauty of the Lord
And thy face will I seek.
He is the rock of my salvation
and my strength when I am weak.
When foes encamp against me
Of whom shall I fear?
My heart will not be troubled
For He is always near,
In times of trouble He shall hide me
In His secret dwelling place,
He lifts me o'er the enemy
thank God for love and grace!
Be strong and of good courage
Sing praises with thy voice
Wait upon the Lord now
Let thy happy heart rejoice!
