Declaration

When pestilence comes over us
And corpses lie in the street
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
My body he will keep

When the wars abound relentlessly
And so many children cry with care
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
And know that He is there

When the storms clouds rage and waters rise
So many lives now gone
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
Who teaches the new song

When the market falls and the money fails
And the world comes crashing down
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
Whose provision will abound

When the jobs are scarce and the food gone
And hunger falls on the land
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
Who will feed me from His hand

When the love is turned and the pain begins
And all my hope is dead
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
The lifter of my head

When my heart come crashing, breaking down
And all the tear release
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
And He will give me peace

No matter what was and no matter what is
And no matter what is yet to be
I will place my gaze upon the LORD
In His love He will hide me
