Like a ship that's tossed and driven
led by the angry sea
When the storms of life are raging
what is rising over me
I wonder what I have done
to make this race so hard to run
So I say to my soul, soul take courage
The lord will make a way somehow
The lord will make a way somehow

This teacher's journey may not be easy
you did not say that it would be
Many times I get lonely and disheartened
and I just don't want to be bothered
Then I began to think what have I done
to make this race so hard to run
So I say to my soul, soul take courage
The lord will make a way somehow
The lord will make a way somehow

Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow
Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow
So I say to my soul, soul take courage
The lord will make a way somehow
The lord will make a way somehow

Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow
Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow
