Verse 1

O God of our salvation

We cry out in our pain

While sorrow is abounding

Death’s shadow will remain

O Father can you hear us?

O Father are you there?

We’re clinging to your promise

But sinking in despair

Chorus

In this world we will have trouble

But we take heart, we take heart

Verse 2

O God of our salvation

You gave Your only Son

Who came to suffer gladly

For evil we have done

Now death has been defeated

That stone was rolled away

Yet trials still increasing

And earth is in decay

Verse 3

O God of our salvation

We long to see the day

When grief not worth comparing

Will all be swept away

Our momentary struggle

And temporary pain

Will finally be over

When Jesus comes again

Chorus 2

Jesus will return in glory

So we take heart, we take heart

Joyful ending to this story

So we take heart, we take heart

One day He will come again

He will come to take us home

Are we all ready for that day?

I am ready! Praise His name!
