Now is the time to step out in faith
Though year by year many changes occur
Our gracious Lord remains the same,
And His gentle spirit is ever around us
He knows each of His children by name.
Oft we dwell so much on things that sadden
Perhaps disappointments, failure and fear,
Let us simply believe as His word proclaims
The message of hope and good cheer.
‘Tis true life holds many misunderstandings
And some days are far from bright,
Now is the time to step out in faith
Unmoved by the present absence of light.
Mindful He has promised never to leave you
Rather restore you and make you whole,
Nothing on earth could replace or value
The priceless worth of your soul.
