and don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning,
troubles they don't last a day
For there's a friend in Jesus,
who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken,
just lift your hands and say Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands (repeat)
With Jesus I can make it
With him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
So when your test and trials
They seem to let you down
All your friends and loved ones.
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in Jesus,
who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
Oh I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand.
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
With Jesus I can take it
With him I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hand (thrice)
My life is in your hands
