Character never builds When put to the side to grow on it's own Like the sharpened knife It once had to grind against stone The life that I have chosen I wasn't promised an easy way out But when the hard times come He's there for me That's what He's about As I fight I'm not alone Through the struggles I have grown I failed Him before And I will fail over and over again He promised me not to leave And with that how could I not win Disoriented by change Hard times come that's one thing for sure But He promises me that I won't See one more ounce Than I can endure When I feel like I am a failure That is when I should surrender Never to the opposing attack But to His guidance Right where I am at
