A friend called me from San Francisco to tell me about two of his friends who had recently committed suicide. What a tragic tale. I remember when I was at the lowest point of my life and suicide seemed like the only answer. Then, I found the True Hope.

Two men dead by the acts of their hands
Families grieve in bare and desert lands
A place of darkness that no one understands
A feeling inside that is against what He commands
You feel so out of control
The pain is taking its toll, but you’ve got to

Know in your heart that God is there
Know in your soul that Christ is your air
Trust that the Spirit will never be unfair
Give to the Lord all concerns in your heart through prayer

Chorus:
Don’t let it pull you down
It won’t bury you under the ground
All you need is the sound of hope in your life

Don’t let it leave you facedown
With His help you can turn it around
All who were lost are now found and there’s hope in your life

Verse 2:
Sorrow and pain and reasons more to cry
Suffering so real, all you want to do is sigh
The bodies we now have are weak and can die
But our bodies in heaven are like His on High

You feel so out of control
And the pain is wounding your soul

Know in your heart that God is there
Know in your soul that Christ is your air
Trust that the Spirit will never be unfair
Give to the Lord all concerns in your heart through prayer

*Chorus*

Praise be to God who makes us
Strong to overcome, in a
World filled with pain, He gives us
Optimism

Broad is the road and
narrow is the way, you’ve got to
Give your life to Jesus and let
Faith guide your day

Verse 3:
Families in jeopardy the pressure gets you down
Stress from your job makes you feel like you will drown
You’re looking for a smile but all you get is a frown
You’d rather pack it all up and get right out of town

You feel so out of control
And the pain is wounding your soul

Know in your heart that God is there
Know in your soul that Christ is your air
Trust that the Spirit will never be unfair
Give to the Lord all concerns in your heart through prayer
