Disappointment grabs hold of your tender heart Don't allow it to hang on too long. You weren't born to be sad or born to be blue You were born to ever shine on. Loneliness drops you in a deep, empty hole Don't forget there's a place you belong. You weren't born in darkness or born to be lost You were born to ever shine on. Mistakes and false steps, shatter your confidence Don't believe that you'll always be wrong. You weren't born defeated or born to stay down You were born to ever shine on. You're a symphony of light, a grand design Don't transgress to a life without song. You were born to a Promise, born to love You were born to ever shine on. © 2001 Terri McPherson Windsor, Ontario, Canada Used with Permission

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth or song,
As the burdens press, and the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?

Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.

Frank E. Graeff, 1901
