This too will pass,

I hear my saviour’s voice say alas.

Through tears of pain look to the light,

For the dawn that comes after the darkest of nights.

My child I am with thee through the valley below,

Will you trust me wherever you should go?

For I shall never forsake the sheep in my fold,

If it were not true, I would have told you so.

You never thought you would feel this way,

But you shall overcome this too, to be with me one day.
