Believe that something good’s about to happen

If here and there you lend a hand

To help lessen someone’s needs,

You’ll find the warmth of God’ great love

Quicken all the scattered seeds.


Ever mindful through life’s changing scenes

There’s one on whom you can depend,

We won’t need to fear the darkness

When the storms of life descend.

Believe something good’s about to happen

And there’s always something more,

You’ll find an expectant spirit moves on,

Some new thing to explore.

For if from life you glean the best

And decide once more to try,

You will retain an expectant youthful spirit

Not matter how the birthdays fly.
