I Will Not Despair

If every day I live on earth

Would be as I desire,

I would preach and pray and work for Him;

I would be a flame of fire.

 

I would bless my neighbor daily,

And witness of Yah's power.

I would laugh and dance and sing and shout,

And praise Him by the hour.

 

If each day could be as I desire,

I would heal each soul in pain;

I would fast and seek until I saw

The sick all well again.

 

I would strive to cheer the lonely,

Communicate and bless their day,

And help the ones that's blind and lost

To find the narrow way.

 

But each day is not as I desire,

But I will not despair.

I'll try each day to do my best,

And wait on Him in prayer.
