Take Heart My Friend

D G D G
               D                  G
Take heart, my friend, we’ll go together
       D                       G
This uncertain road that lies ahead
             Bm                    A
Our faithful God has always gone before us
            Em           G     A
And He will lead the way once again

               D                     G
Take heart, my friend, we can walk together
           D                  G
And if our burdens become too great
       Bm                     A
We can hold up and help one another
         Em             A     A
In God’s love and God’s grace

CHORUS
                                  G
Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us
          D                        Bm    A
As He has been all the days of our lives
      G        A    Bm     Bm/A
Our assurance every morning
      Em     G       D    G D G
Our defender in the night

              D                     G
If we should falter when trouble surrounds us
          D                              G
When the wind and the waves are wild and high
              Bm                       A
We will look away to Him who ruled the waters
              Em                   A
Who spoke His peace into the angry tide

           D              G
He is our comfort, our sustainer
          D               G
He is our help in time of need
            Bm                 A
And when we wander, He is our Shepherd
       Em                    A      A
He who watches over us never sleeps

SECOND CHORUS
               D                  G
Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us
          D                        Bm    A
As He has been all the days of our lives
      G        A    Bm     Bm/A
Our assurance every morning
      Em     G       A
Our defender in the night
