Amidst the turmoil and the strife,
A prince arises to protect our life.

Jesus, the great, with strength untold,
Guides us through the darkness and the cold.

For a time of distress is upon us now,
A trial that none can fully allow.

It is a time like none before,
A test that shakes us to our core.

But fear not, for those whose names are written,
In the book of life, shall not be smitten,

With deliverance and with grace,
As Jesus' light shines on their face.

And those who sleep in the dust of the earth,
Shall awaken to a new rebirth,

Some to everlasting life, they'll soar,
While others face eternal shame and more.

So let us hold onto hope and love,
And trust in the power from above,

For Jesus' strength will carry us through,
And lead us to a life that's ever new.
