    I Refuse to be Discouraged

    Lita Kurtzer
    category: Faith
    I Refuse to be discouraged, to be sad or to cry
    I Refuse to be down-hearted and here's the reason why
    I have a GOD who's Mighty, who's Sovereign and Supreme
    I have a GOD who loves me, and I am on HIS team

    HE is all Wise and Powerful, JEHOVAH IS HIS name
    Though everything is changeable, my GOD remains the same
    My GOD knows all that's happening, beginning to the end
    HIS Presence is my comfort, HE is my "DEAREST FRIEND"

    When sickness comes to weaken me,
    to bring my head down low
    I call upon my Mighty GOD, into HIS arms I go
    When circumstances threaten, to rob me of my peace
    HE draws me close unto HIS breast, where all my strivings cease

    When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control
    HE gathers me into HIS arms, HE soothes my heart and soul
    The great "I AM" is with me, my life is in HIS hand
    The "GOD OF JACOB" is my Hope, it's in HIS strength I stand

    I Refuse to be defeated, my eyes are on my GOD
    HE has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod
    I'm looking past all circumstance, to Heaven's throne above
    My prayers have reached the heart of GOD,
    I'm resting in HIS love
    I give GOD thanks in everything, my eyes are on HIS face
    The Battle's HIS, the Victory mine, HE'LL help me win life's race.
