Yet will I rejoice

Not some candy-coated
some rose-colored perspective
my eyes wide open
to my current state

Yet will I rejoice
joyful in my being
even when calamity comes
I will trust in the Lord

God there with me
for me all of my days
leading me through the waters
the fires of my way

Leading me in my trials
there when I fear
leading me to rejoice
ever in His care
