Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When  you’re in the valley of despair
Feels  as though you always will be there  F
 Let your heart be strong,  though the road is long,
  there’s a way to go
Soon  enough the path will start to rise,
To  mountains high and clear and sunny skies.
 The way will take you high,  the way will take you low,
 That’s the way it goes
 That’s  the way it goes sometimes,  things  are going to work out
fine.
 Rain will fall and then  sun will shine again,
 that’s the way it goes
And  when the raging waters rush your way,
And  it feels like you won’t last another day.
 
Let  your heart be brave, the calming of the waves is nearer than you know
Stormy  days will be a distant dream  floating  in a still and quiet stream
 The river will run fast,  the river will run slow,  that’s the way it goes
Life’s  a mystery and we  don’t always see God’s hand
 He’s  the Lord of love and wonder, one  day we will understand
