Changes

(Originally titled "Tight Times")

These are tight times. Just when you think you’ve got it made,

You’re lookin’ at some hard times

That you never thought you’d have to face.

We must be strong as we learn more in our life.

We must remember that the Lord will see us through this strife.

Chorus:

Looking at some changes.

Guess we always knew that they could come.

But how will we face it? Is this what the Lord has planned for us?

We say we trust Him for all things,

But what’s it like when some are taken away?

See what really matters to you.

Is there any thing that should ever get us down?

Since we have our Lord, we have all good things.

Let’s rejoice in what we’ve found.

Should we ever worry? No, we’ve got better things to do.

Lord Jesus wants us working, rejoicing, He will get us through.

Instrumental Verse

Chorus

We have been blessed with a time of peace the church has never known

A time may soon be on us when we'll face persecution in our lives

Will we be faithful, and stand up for His Holy name?

When the Son of Man comes in the clouds Will He find faith on the earth?

Chorus

Looking at some changes.

Guess we always knew that they could come.

But how will we face it? Is this what the Lord has planned for us?

We say we trust Him for all things,

but what’s it like when some are taken away?

See what really matters to you.
