Today I find myself so weak The battle came to knock me down Once again, I'm in this prison No strength to fight, I'm losing ground Oh, if only my dear Lord Would grant the longing of my soul But I understand, O God above There’s a time to smile, a time to weep And the season I'm living through Might just be the one to grieve If I must stay apart from You And miss the warmth of Your embrace I’ll wait until the day You come To lead me out of this dark place And if I learn to wait with patience Like Job, enduring in his pain I know that I will still have hope Though all I hold feels small and plain From ashes, I will rise again Into the new that I’ve longed for And there, with joy, I’ll lift my voice To sing Your praise forevermore
