I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief! (Mark 9:24; NLT).
1. Lord,
In shadow, and in grief:
Help me with my unbelief.

In darkness, and in pain:
Send your light and hope again.
3. Lord,
In suffering, and fear:
Comfort me, for you are near.
4. Lord,
In facing up to death:
Hold me tight, till my last breath.
The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you (Deuteronomy 33:27; NLT).
