Keep the Faith

Shirley Ann Cogen

When times are most foreboding, and we sink in despair,
Keep the faith.
When trials as a boulder crush us, and we feel we’ve nothing left,
Keep the faith.
There is a storm before every rainbow.  Be patient.
Keep the faith.
Jesus promised He would be with us always.
Keep the faith.
He said He is going to prepare a place for us.
Keep the faith.
All will be worth it at the end.
Keep the faith
More than we can imagine will be our reward.
Keep the faith.
