Life's so hard throughout these days
with every trail, every way
I'm beaten, torn, and held at bay
right in the middle of the fray.
All I want is happiness
peace and joy, unending bliss
A warm embrace' a sweet soft kiss
I couldn't dream of more than this.
My only grace is God's pure hope,
it's like a strong unending rope
That helps me as I climb this slope
with all this stress it has not broke.
I try to find my way right now
even though i don't know how
Or what my simple strength allows
still i will try with humble bow.
I must thank our only God
with words and shouts of triumph trod!
Who keeps us safe as Satan prod's
our lives our hearts our very bods!
I'm strong while He does give me strength
I need no riches, fame, or rank
Care not for flesh or pride or banks
His love He gives to me at length.
I know i need not worry here
He'll give me all that i hold dear
In time he will dispel my fears
and does as i cry happy tears.
Thank you Lord for all you've done
for with your help I've always won
Still with trials weighing tons
i will survive for I'm his son.
