Sometimes in life the road we're on is not the one we choose
Hits home when we find ourselves in someone else's shoes
We sing a song of victory and then we sing the blues
But through the highs and lows
No, we ain't losing hope
There's gonna be hard times
Gonna be long nights
Gonna be days when we're praying
Just to make it through
But when it goes all wrong
We gotta just hold on
The promise that You gave us
Your love will not forsake us
In these hard times (hard times)
In these hard times (hard times)
Nothing lasts forever, no, no
Seasons always change
Change is for the better
When Your love becomes our strength
You make beauty from the ashes
You cover us in grace
So when darkness tries to knock us down
We'll lift You up in praise
There's gonna be hard times
Gonna be long nights
Gonna be days when we're praying
Just to make it through
But when it goes all wrong
We gotta just hold on
The promise that You gave us
Your love will not forsake us
In these hard times
In these hard times
I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You in the hard times
I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You in the hard times
Your love will lift me
Your love will lift me
Your love will lift me, lift me, lift me
Whatever may come, whatever we face
Never lose hope, never lose faith
Ain't nothing gonna steal our praise
'Cause You've been faithful all our days
Whatever may come, whatever we face
We'll never lose hope, never lose faith
Oh, we're holding on to the promise that You gave us
Your love will not forsake us in these hard times
Whatever may come, whatever we face (in these hard times)
We'll never lose hope, never lose faith
In these hard times
Ain't nothing gonna steal our praise
Whatever may come, whatever we face (in these hard times)
We'll never lose hope, never lose faith
In these hard times
Ain't nothing gonna steal our praise
Oh (hard times)
