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

[VERSE1]
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

[VERSE2]
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]
When the world outside, seems to be against you
And your heart is heavy, with a burden or two
Remember the voice, that whispers in your ear
You are strong, you are brave, you are loved, you are clear

[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 hold on to hope, don't let it slip away
Encourage yourself, a brighter day
Is on the horizon, a new dawn will rise
Encourage yourself, and open your eyes.
