Standard (EADGBE)

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
