(Verse) You told us pain could turn to singing Tears would not outlast the dawn That what feels like endless midnight Would break from mourning into song So when my heart is bowed with sorrow And all I know feels torn apart I will hold on to Your promise You’re bringing joy into this heart (Pre Chorus) These things I have spoken So your trembling could cease These things I have spoken That in Me you would have peace (Chorus) In this world you will have trouble In this world the view grows dim In this world you’ll feel surrounded In this world a heart wears thin Take heart in your trouble Take heart when doubting too Take heart through any suffering Take heart cause I’m with you (Hook) In this world you will have trouble But take heart, oh take heart I have overcome the world (Verse 2) You said to ask the Father boldly To bring my need before His throne Not as a stranger who comes begging But as a child already known And in Your name there is an answer Though not what justice would demand For heaven hears with purchased mercy The grace that moves through wounded hands (Pre Chorus) These things I have spoken So your trembling could cease These things I have spoken That in Me you would have peace (Hook) In this world you will have trouble But take heart, oh take heart I have overcome the world (Verse 3) You said the Father loves His children You said His heart is turned our way Not with a distant cold affection But with a love that does not sway And when the world feels hard around me And every comfort starts to move I stand beneath that steady kindness Held by the everlasting proof (Pre Chorus) These things I have spoken So your trembling could cease These things I have spoken That in Me you would have peace (Chorus) In this world you will have trouble In this world the view grows dim In this world you’ll feel surrounded In this world a heart wears thin Take heart in your trouble Take heart when doubting too Take heart through any suffering Take heart cause I’m with you (Hook) In this world you will have trouble But take heart, oh take heart I have overcome the world (Pre Chorus) These things I have spoken So your trembling could cease These things I have spoken That in Me you would have peace (Hook) In this world you will have trouble But take heart, oh take heart I have overcome the world But take heart, oh take heart I have overcome the world
