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
