When circumstances make my life
too hard to understand,
no doubt or fear, no pain or strife,
can snatch me from God’s hand.
2. In valleys where the path is steep,
with shadows dark and long,
I know the Shepherd leads his sheep-
his grace will keep me strong.
3. Though sorrow and perplexity
are often what I feel,
Gethsemane and Calvary
affirm God’s love is real.
4. It is enough for me to know
his promise and his care:
wherever on life’s path I go
my Saviour will be there.
