Look on the Sunny Side

Look on the Sunny Side

There are always two sides-
the good and the bad,
The dark and the light,
the sad and the glad-
But in looking back over
the good and the bad,
We're aware of the number
of good things we've had.
And in counting our blessings,
we find when we're through
We've no reason at all
to complain or be blue.
So thank God for good things
He's already done,
And be grateful to Him
for the battles you've won,
And know that the same God
who helped you before
Is ready and willing
to help once more.
Then with faith in your heart,
reach out for God's hand
And accept what he sends,
though you can't understand...
For our Father in heaven
always knows what is best,
And if you trust His wisdom,
your life will be blessed...
Always remember that
whatever betide you,
You are never alone,
For God is beside you.
