If there is a future there is time for mending - Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow - If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping - When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though your heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling - If there is time for praying there is time for healing.
