–Bob Ford
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 is almighty,
Who is 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 else is changeable,
My God remains the same.
I refuse to be defeated.
My eyes are on my God.
He has always been here with me,
As through this life I’ve trod.
I am looking past my circumstances
To Heaven’s throne above.
My prayers have reached the heart of God.
I am resting in His love.
I give thanks to Him for everything.
My eyes are on His face.
The battle is His; the victory is mine;
He will help me win the race.
I repeat, “I’m too blessed to be stressed.”
