When I am down, faint of heart Without a comfort for my soul. My Jesus comes and speaks the words Of so less sweet and woe. He speaks to me of his mighty love And helps me bear my load. He comforts me with thoughts of home And says we don't have much farther to go. My friend I must confess to you It's not an easy road. But the burden I carry is lighter now Cause I'm not traveling alone. So trouble let me say to you You cannot linger near. There is no room for sorrow now When Jesus is so near He speaks to me of his mighty love And helps me bear my load. He comforts me with thoughts of home And says we don't have much farther to go.
