Maurette Brown Clark - Don't Be Discouraged (God Will See You Through) Lyrics
Lyrics
Know that things may not be going right - Don't be discouraged (Don't be discouraged)
And you may feel like giving up your fight - Don't be discouraged (Don't be discouraged)
Tried everything, but to no avail - Don't be discouraged (Don't be discouraged)
You may feel like you're about to fail, but be encouraged (Do be encouraged)
I know God (God will see you through - Here He comes to rescue you) Here He comes
I know God (God will see you through) He will come (Here He comes to rescue you) Here He comes to rescue you
I know that things may not be going right - Don't be discouraged (Don't be discouraged)
And you may feel like throwing in the towel and giving up the fight, but don't be - don't be - don't be (Don't be discouraged)
You've tried everything, but to - to no avail - Don't be discouraged (Don't be discouraged)
It might seem like you're about to fail, but I (You be encouraged) I want you to be encouraged tonight - encouraged tonight
But my God will (God will see you through) He's gonna see you through
(Here He comes to rescue you) As a matter of fact, He's coming to rescue
I know God (God will see you through) Here He comes (Here He comes to rescue you)
He's never let you down before (Not even for a day)
So why would He start now
(Oh, He's same as Yesterday) - He'll be the same God (Today) - He'll be the same Tomorrow (and Tomorrow)
So trust Him to work it out (Trust Him) To work it out
Someway
Somehow
Just ask Him- Pray... You will never be the same
Jesus can make a way
Anytime, Any day
All you gotta do is ask Him
Say "God I need right now" in my situation
Things aren't kinda going like I need them to go, but I'm willing to give You another chance
To show Yourself throughout in my Life, Lord
Ask Him - Pray... Jesus can make a way
Any time
Any day
Whatever you need (Just ask Him) What ever you need (Pray) WHATEVER YOU NEED! (You will never be the same)
(Jesus can) He's gonna make a way for you (make a way) Just leave it at the altar
(Anytime) Leave it at His Feet (Any day) Make today be The Day!
Today might be the day
You thought you were coming for one thing
But the Lord sent you here for your Healing tonight
And I need you to know that God can and don't be (Don't be discouraged)
Be not weary and well doing... For in due season my God's gonna come see about you
Don't (Don't be discouraged) Don't be - don't be - don't be
I don't care how many tears you cry (Don't be discouraged) Late at night all by yourself
You've bit into one and two and three and four and five pillows
I don't care, I don't care - Dust yourself off and say (Don't be discouraged)
I'm gonna trust God 'cause He's never let me down - never let me down
He's never let me down- never let me down
God I trust You (Don't be discouraged) I'm leaning on You, Jesus
I know where my Help comes from (Don't be discouraged)
I know God (God will see you through) Here He comes (Here He comes to rescue you) To see about ya
(Here He comes to rescue - God will see you through) God will see you through
(Here He comes to rescue - God will see you through) Here He comes to rescue
(Here He comes to rescue you)
Now that ought to be Good News to SOMEBODY!
Somebody's saying: "When? When? When, God, When?"...
"When is my struggle gonna be over?... When is it gonna be My Turn? ...My Season?"
He's COMING!
He's Coming, He's Coming, He's Coming, He's Coming!
He's Coming, He's Coming, He's Coming, He's COMING!
He sees your Praise
He sees you praising through your Storm
He sees you praising through your Struggles
He sees you praising when it looks like you shouldn't be praising Him

Maurette Brown Clark - Don't Be Discouraged
Meaning & Inspiration
Maurette Brown Clark’s "Don't Be Discouraged (God Will See You Through)," released on November 29, 2011, stands as a powerful anthem of perseverance and unwavering faith. This isn't just a song; it's a profound declaration of hope, resonating deeply with anyone navigating life's inevitable challenges. At its core, the message is a direct, compassionate appeal to the soul burdened by setbacks, echoing the age-old biblical promise that even in the deepest valleys, divine intervention is not just possible, but assured. The composition serves as a spiritual lifeline, designed to remind and re-anchor individuals in the truth of God's constant presence and ultimate faithfulness.
The song delves into the universal human experience of discouragement, acknowledging the raw reality of struggles where things "may not be going right," where one might feel like "giving up your fight," and despite "tried everything, but to no avail," the shadow of failure looms. This immediate empathy for the listener's plight sets the stage, creating a connection before offering the profound reassurance. It speaks to the weariness that often settles in after repeated efforts yield no tangible results, a feeling familiar to countless individuals facing personal, professional, or spiritual battles. The lyrical narrative then pivots sharply from this recognition of hardship to an emphatic declaration of faith: "God will see you through." This phrase isn't merely a hopeful suggestion; it’s a confident assertion, reinforced by the powerful imagery of "Here He comes to rescue you," painting a vivid picture of an active, responsive God. This message aligns perfectly with the assurance found in Psalm 46:1, which declares, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble," confirming that help is not just coming, but is already present and actively moving on our behalf.
The spiritual depth of "Don't Be Discouraged" is further amplified by its grounding in immutable biblical truths. The song powerfully reminds us that God "never let you down before," asking, "So why would He start now?" This rhetorical question immediately calls to mind the unchanging nature of God, a cornerstone of Christian theology. Hebrews 13:8 states, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever," a perfect echo of the song's affirmation that He will be "the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." This steadfast character of the divine is the very foundation upon which trust is built, encouraging one to "trust Him to work it out someway, somehow." The song urges a proactive stance in faith, not passive waiting, but active participation through prayer. It moves beyond just passive encouragement, challenging the listener to "Just ask Him- Pray... Jesus can make a way anytime, any day." This directly reflects the biblical mandate found in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you," reinforcing the power and accessibility of prayer in every circumstance.
What makes this song particularly impactful is its dynamic blend of musicality and prophetic declaration. Maurette Brown Clark transcends the role of a singer, becoming a voice of ministerial encouragement, particularly in the later parts of the track where spoken word elements take prominence. She confronts the listener directly, acknowledging the tears cried in solitude, the pillows bitten into in frustration, and the desire to give up. Yet, her response is unwavering: "Dust yourself off and say 'Don't be discouraged.'" This segment is a call to action, a divine summons to stand firm in faith even when emotions are raw and hope seems distant. It is a powerful embodiment of Galatians 6:9, which exhorts, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The song doesn't sugarcoat the pain but offers a clear path through it, emphasizing that God "sees your Praise... through your Storm... through your Struggles... when it looks like you shouldn't be praising Him." This profound insight underscores the spiritual discipline of praising God not *after* the victory, but *in the midst* of the battle, recognizing that such praise is a testament of faith that God intimately observes and honors. For those who question "When, God, When?" she offers the triumphant, repeated affirmation, "He's COMING!" It’s a promise of arrival, a confirmation that every struggle has an appointed end and every season of waiting will culminate in divine intervention. This song is more than a listening experience; it is an encounter designed to ignite conviction and renew the spirit, an enduring reminder that even in our darkest hours, God's light is always on its way to rescue and restore.
