Some days I wonder why we don’t give up.
We laugh and cry and struggle through the days
And yet somehow we manage to keep up
We live with all of life’s strange and mad ways
We carry on and fight life’s troubles to
The end and through these journeys all with Him
We might fall back but soon enough with new
Hope we will surely close out all the dim,
And once again we will follow the path
Light shining on all we know to be pure
No longer do we hold in all the wrath
But live our life with the strength to endure
We trust in thee from dawn until we die
Life is too short to let it pass you by.
