by Mike Hall

We are attacked from all sides
But still have hope
Because we are not alone.

We are bewildered by circumstances
But still have faith
Because we are not alone.

We feel persecution 
But still stand steadfast
Because we are not alone.

We are knocked down
But we still rise to the challenge
Because we are not alone.

We know struggles await
But face our obstacles with resolve
Because we are not alone.

We know our time will one day end
But don’t fear the end’s approaching
Because He promised we will never be alone.
