The almighty is the strength of my hopes

Better than the taste and the scent of many dopes

The almighty is my daily brook of unending joy

Happy am I for of this I shall continually enjoy

The almighty is the foundation of my life

How can I ever fret for any stubborn strife

The almighty is the owner of my everyday

How I keep every fear and foe at bay

God is my trust, I mind not the nervous nights

God is my trust, I sorrow not in my many plights

For the moon that shied away behind the cloud

Will so soon shine away from it no doubt

The trials may seem to be many

I trust in God, I trust not any

The trials in my path will so soon disappear

Smooth stones will so soon pave my track

My joy has come now it is near

My heart is now seasoned with joy

The pain that was is no more there

My light now shines, I can now enjoy
