[Verse 1]
Why are you sad, my soul?
Why are you so troubled inside?
Put your hope in God—
I will praise Him again,
Because He helps me and He is my God.
[Chorus]
In the time of hopelessness,
That's the right time to prove your faith.
Show your trust in God
By obeying all His ways.
Faith shines brightest in the dark—
When we follow His commands with all our heart.
In the time of hopelessness,
Let your obedience be your praise.
[Verse 2]
It is good to carry burdens when you're young.
Sit quietly and think deeply,
Because God has placed this on you.
He may bring sorrow,
But He also shows mercy and kindness.
He will not leave you forever.
[Bridge]
If you listen carefully to God’s voice,
And do what He says,
He will lift you up
And bless everything you do.
He keeps His promises
To those who walk in His ways.
[Chorus – Repeat]
In the time of hopelessness,
That's the right time to prove your faith.
Show your trust in God
By obeying all His ways.
Faith shines brightest in the dark—
When we follow His commands with all our heart.
In the time of hopelessness,
Let your obedience be your praise.
[Outro]
Be strong and full of courage.
Don’t be afraid or give up.
God is with you wherever you go—
He will never leave you alone.
