Inspired by lyrics to “No Matter What” by Penny Nichols (adapted by LH).
Listen to your Father, no matter the reason, the hour of the night, the time or the season, no matter what your trouble is, you can count on Him….
When the rain is fallin’ and your heart is heavy and your candle’s burning dim…. When the money’s gone and the lights go out, when you’re feelin’ sad and full of doubt…. Life can get a little bumpy when you’re on your own, but Someone who loves you never leaves you alone.
No matter what, He’ll be there for you. No matter what, He’s gonna care for you. No matter what your trouble is, you can count on Him.… No matter if there’s so much noise that you can’t hear His voice…. No matter; ask Him one more time.
Stay calm, Father will fix it again. You can count on Him.
