Another Year

I can bear it until the morn
makes one more day reborn
I can carry my load one more day
until nighttime steals the light away

Each day as it comes and goes
is another blessing God bestows
and when I feel my troubles, no longer can I bear
I reach out in prayer, and God is there

And somehow my burden seems lighter
and I grip on just a little tighter
face the morning on my feet
and head on my problems meet

I'll face each day and night ahead
getting up and going to bed
and conquer loneliness and fear
and carry my load another year
