Don'T Just Sit There, Start Over

Being in the will of God means changing your mind
                      Leaving all your trouble behind
                                     Start Over
            When you've failed to trust God to walk in His will 
                   When you felt His hand day by day
                  But your steps take you another way
                                     Start Over
         When you've made your plans and they've gone astray
          When you've tried to do your best and can get no rest
       When you've failed yourself and you don't know what to do
                                     Start Over
          When you've told your friends what you plan to do
       When you've trusted them and they did not come through
                And now you all alone and it's up to you
                                    Start Over
       When you've failed your children and they did you to
      When you've done your best and it turned out a mess
       When your children are grown and you're all alone
                                    Start Over
   When you've prayed to God so you can know His will
       When you've prayed and prayed day by day
     When you want to stop cause you've had your fill
                                    Start Over
     When you think you've finished and want to quit
      When you've bottomed out and begin to shout
        When you've tried and tried to get out
                                    Start Over
             Starting over means Victories won!
            Starting over means a race well run!
           Starting over means God's will be done!
            Starting over means I'm His son!
               So don't just sit there!
         START OVER, START OVER, START OVER!!!
