My Redeemer Lives
When Depression Sets in There is a Way Out
There are times when I am lost and lonely,
it hurts so bad to be me sometimes.
Life gets to be too much at times,
but I have to say right now,
I have joy because my Redeemer lives.
Those times when I am lost and lonely,
when the sparkle leaves my eyes,
I stop dwelling on me and lift my eyes
to my redeemer that shed his blood for me.
Yes, there are times I feel lost and lonely,
I feel so sad, my life a void.
Joy is just a distant memory,
until I remember my Redeemer lives.
My Savior says it isn't true;
I am not lost and I am not lonely,
I am found, and I am loved.
Jesus gave me his joy in abundance.
so when I feel lost and lonely,
I remember my Redeemer lives.
