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
