Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend
And Christ will give you love;
Reach out to Him who brings you joy
And blessings from above.

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend
And Christ will give you grace;
Come tarry for a little while
And rest in Hi embrace.

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend
And Christ will give you hope;
He'll help you strive to carry on
And give you strength to cope.

2b
Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend
And Christ will give you life;
He'll be there ever by your side
And take away your strife.

(Interlude)

And Christ will give you peace;
Remember Him when skies are dark
And you will find relief.

UP & DOWN

UP & DOWN

Words by Hope Oberhelman

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Up and down is how life goes
With days all full of care,
But God will fill us with new hope
If we call on Him in prayer.

2
Up and down is how life goes,
We look to God above
And no matter what our problems are
He will bless us with His love.

3
Up and down is how life goes,
We search for gentle peace.
So let us reach out to the Lord
And He will grant us sweet release.

4
Up and down is how life goes
But no matter what we do
The Lord will be there by our side
And His strength will see us through.

Coda:
The Lord will be there by our side
And His strength will see us through!
