I wonder why at times I'm lost.
Faith a struggle, happiness a cost.
God tells us to trust in him
When things seem to be looking dim.
Work so hard just to achieve.
Forget the thanks, for what we receive.
Then ask God to give us more.
Guide us through what's in store.
Times of trouble, times of grief.
Test our faith, test our belief.
Live our lives the best we can.
Try to live, by God's plan.
When things don't seem to be going right,
I bow my head and pray at night.
I ask the Lord to guide my way,
Show me the path to take today.
I found life's not what you achieve.
Life is in what you believe.
Fame and fortune,life and love.
Are given to us from up above.
Now I don't wait till the end of day.
To bow my head and start to pray.
God's in control and has a plan.
In times of trouble we must understand.
All is not what we want it to be.
My life is not just here for me.
Times of trouble and times of grief.
Test our faith and our belief.
We all strive to live life the best.
We all strive to pass the test.
So now I bow my head to pray.
I thank God, for another Day!

Faith is to you what you want it to be. Have faith and have the world, or..not!

Without having faith, I guarantee, hon, I would be lost as a goose in a hailstorm...
My faith in God has carried me through so much in my life...
A fine and beautiful sharing, sweetie; I wish you the very best of all there is!
