To the cross He was led
Where His blood was shed
But a better day ahead
When raised from the dead.

Life has its strains
But hope remains
Since God does care,
There is repair.

From high up in space
Or in a low place,
His care does reach
And His Word does teach.

Even in a hard time,
Things will work out fine
So maintain the hope 
And keep things in scope.

Cheer up my friend
And have a great weekend
For there is much to do;
Much to look forward to.
