this is for you, Britt!

If you can endure for this minute

Whatever is happening to you,

No matter how heavy you heart is

Or how dark this moment may be

If you can be strong and fearless

With all the world crashing around you,

Secure in the knowledge that God loves you,
I love you, even if people seem to doubt you.

If you can but keep on believing

What you know in your heart to be true,

That darkness will fade with the morning

And that "this will pass away, too!"

Then nothing in life can defeat you

For as long as this knowledge remains

You can endure whatever is happening

For I know God will break all the chains

That are binding you tight in the darkness

that's trying to fill you with pain

For there is "no night without dawning"

And I know that "your morning" is near.
