“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV https://john.bible/john-16-33
When my heart is in deep sorrow And my mind in great despair When it feels like no tomorrow And there's no more joy to spare
To whom can this madman turn If no one would dare to listen When people focus on what they earn And seek for their own enjoyment
I indulge myself in transient things For my soul is easily deceived by its cliche But it just made the darkness darker And left me to decay
No intellect can answer a question When it wells up from a sorrowful heart No worldview can cheer up a creature When he seeks the truth that exceeds the smart
And when I'm lying in my bed Just running down my tears Asking myself life's questions But in a moment He hears
Right at His words He answers my questions And He stands as the way Out of this world's chaos and tensions
The truth is found in You Oh most gracious Lord My soul testifies the correspondence And coherence of Your word
The joy you have set in my heart The very day the Spirit brought the truth Will always lead me to Your hand And keeps me stand up on my foot
The world may snare at me Just as it has done to You before But I will take Your promise when You said 'Take heart! I have overcome the world.'
