time will tell

Even as all hell breaks loose
Even as things move from bad to worse
Even as we wallow in sorrow
An inner voice always tells me
That sometimes tomorrow
The wind will start to blow in our direction
For time will tell

Even as tides blow against us
Even as we face rejection
Even as our work falters
I still have a dream
A burning and inspirational hope
That someday the tides shall beat in our direction
For time will tell

Even as we fall into financial crisis
Even as poverty encroaches
Even as the future feels fearful
My heart still beats optimistically
To God’s good plans for us
And the bountiful future that I see
For time will tell
