I May Be Down Today

I May Be Down Today

[Verse 1]

I’ve walked through the valley with tears on my face,

Felt like the silence was louder than grace.

But deep in the shadows, I heard a still voice—

“Hold on, My child, I’ll give you a choice.”

You can cry in the night, but joy’s on the way,

There’s mercy new with each dawning day.

[Chorus]

I may be down today, but I’ll be shouting tomorrow!

Trading my sorrow for joy that won’t borrow.

The storm may rage, but my anchor holds—

God is faithful, His promises bold!

Tears may fall, but hope will rise—

I’ve seen His goodness with my own eyes.

I may be down today…

But I’ll be shouting tomorrow!

[Verse 2]

The enemy whispered, “You’re too far gone,”

But heaven responded, “You still belong!”

I’ve tasted the fire, I’ve felt the rain,

But God stood beside me in every pain.

So I lift my head, though it’s heavy and low,

'Cause I know where I’ve been—and I know where I’ll go.

[Chorus]

I may be down today, but I’ll be shouting tomorrow!

Trading my sorrow for joy that won’t borrow.

The night may fall, but I’ve seen the light—

God is faithful; He’s still in the fight.

Chains may rattle, but praise will ring—

Even in pain, I still will sing!

I may be down today…

But I’ll be shouting tomorrow!

[Bridge]

Shouting in advance, I believe what You said,

Victory’s mine, though the battle’s not dead.

I don’t have to wait till I see the sun—

I’ll praise You now, for what’s to come!

[Final Chorus]

I may be down today, but I’ll be shouting tomorrow!

My God restores the joy I borrow.

Through every trial, through every test—

He’s never failed, He gives me rest.

So I lift my voice in the midnight hour—

There’s resurrection in His power!

I may be down today…

But I’ll be shouting tomorrow!
