Be Positive

Don't be that person, stuck in a rut,
Don't let your day always end in a but.

God's plan for you was made in the positive,
He doesn't want you to live in the negative.

When your life seems gloomy and sad,
When all you try turns out to be bad.

God , You are so good, forgive me when I fall,
Stumbling stones line my path, I hear the Devil's call

Go to the fountain and there drink deep,
Your problems will go if your faith you keep.

Say, Father, smile on me when I am so unable,
His love and  forgiveness will make you stable

Before time began, God made you with love,
Before all creation, came His love from above

He looked on you with love in His heart,
He has given you His best from the very start.
