My Story

My story is not one of overnight sensation It isn't even one that would get a standing ovation No crowd cheering for another encore No limos or screaming fans outside the door My story is not one of great success achieved If I told you it was so you would truly be deceived No mountains of cash storing up in the bank Sometimes not even enough fuel in my gas tank My story is truly one of faith and trust in God This journey I travel to some may seem quite odd But it is through my faith that I find strength on a daily bases And am able to ignore the penetrating looks on people's faces My story is trust that God is with me wherever I may go And He tells me I'm special to Him and this I'll always know Don't need to be a star on earth cause I am in His eyes No need for ego boosters cause God keeps me on the rise My story is simple and plane to be told I'll always choose Jesus over silver and gold I'd rather have something that's truly guaranteed Instead of something achieved purely through greed
