Why be afraid if I'm not alone
Though life is never easy the rest in unknown
Up to now for me it's been hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe
(chorus)
Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now
It's shinning on me
Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me
Starting again is part of the plan And I'll be so much stronger
holding your hand Step by step I'll make it through I know I can It
may not make it easier but I have felt you Near all the way
(repeat chorus)
Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Forever I'll stand on the rock
Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love

Model paper
The Change in Mr. Manwaring
There is no doubt about it. Hal Manwaring has definitely changed.
And changed for the better. He still limps, of course, still has
trouble getting in and out of his car and climbing stairs. He still
needs his stick to get about. Everyone feels sorry for him,
naturally. They always have, ever since he first started suffering
from his disease all those years ago. But, to be honest, in recent
years people started to avoid him, he had become so bitter he
hadn't a good word to say about anyone or anything. Understandable,
you might say, but that didn't make him any better company.
Then, all of a sudden, ever since that big storm we had last month,
he picked himself up and
now has a cheerful word and a smile for everyone. Where once you
would see him sitting hunched
up on his porch for hours on end, now you see him hopping about all
over town. He has even taken
up helping to teach on the adult literacy programme. Just what
happened he won't say, but whatever
it was it certainly did him a power of good.
