"Whatever you are, be a good one." -Abraham Lincoln


Oh how can I describe my gracious God

He showers me with gifts from up above

Who gives me so much more than just a nod

But most of all he never ends his love

 

And even when I think that all is lost

He gives me hope to rise up for the win

And all of this he gives me at no cost

I wonder what makes him forget my sin

 

In ev'ry way he has me overdone

What can I ever do to pay him back

He sacrificed for me his only son

And constantly I realize I slack

 

I've got to stop just living to get by

And all he asks me is to merely try

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.
