Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the darkest night, when all seems lost
A voice within whispers, "You are not alone, no matter the cost"
A lesson from the past, a truth to hold
Encourage yourself, let faith unfold

[VERSE 1]
David's story, a testament of old
Lost his home, his family, his future cold
But he found strength, in a troubled soul
He encouraged himself, making his spirit whole
The Bible tells us, in 1 Samuel 30:6
He found his courage, in the midst of defeat

[CHORUS]
Encourage yourself, in times of distress
Lift up your voice, and let faith confess
You are not alone, in your darkest night
Encourage yourself, shine with all your light

[VERSE 2]
In sickness and pain, in anxiety and fear
The only key, is to draw near
To the heart of God, where love and peace reside
Encourage yourself, let His presence be your guide
Pause and be still, let God speak to your soul
There's a next chapter, a new story to unfold

[CHORUS]
Encourage yourself, in times of distress
Lift up your voice, and let faith confess
You are not alone, in your darkest night
Encourage yourself, shine with all your light

[BRIDGE]
I'll be quiet before God, let Him have His say
In the silence, I'll find my way
To a place of rest, where love and peace abide
Where anxiety and worry, will be my guide

[HOOK]
Encourage yourself, it's time to rise
Encourage yourself, open your eyes
There's a strength within, waiting to be found
Encourage yourself, let faith turn it around

[CHORUS]
Encourage yourself, in times of distress
Lift up your voice, and let faith confess
You are not alone, in your darkest night
Encourage yourself, shine with all your light

[OUTRO]
So I'll encourage myself, in the Lord my God
I'll lift up my voice, and let my spirit nod
To the truth of His word, that sets me free
Encourage yourself, and you'll find victory.
