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.~
