When the road is long
And the desert wide
When the path is steep
And the mountain high
If I rise or fall
If I’m weak or strong
Whether great or small
This will be my song
My God will supply all my need
According to His word
According to His riches in glory (2x)
At the great divide
That I cannot cross
At the burning fire
That appears impossible
I will lift my eyes
And command my soul
Be still and know
He’s the God of miracles
Will He not open the floodgates of heaven
Will He not open wide (2x)
