Encountering Encouragement

"Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.... But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God" (1 Samuel 30:4,6).

When I've run out of power to weep,
When my troubles have robbed me of sleep,
When I'm sinking in waters too deep,
I'll encourage myself in the Lord.

When I've done everything I can do,
When my friends are fair-weather and few,
When my foes are convinced I am through,
I'll encourage myself in the Lord.

When I finally come to the place
Where I truly am seeking God's face,
When my soul is restored by His grace,
I'll encourage myself in the Lord.
