Fate

><>
When I entered this world, was my life's script already written?
I think I must have got the wrong one, cause  I sure didn't fit in.
Did all my bad experiences come for some unseen reason?
The ridicule, the hurt, the pain, who was it pleasing?
Did fate deal me cards off the bottom of the deck?
At times I felt like my life was a total train wreck.
 Fate? Hate?  Can you relate?
If everything is predestined what's the point?
Might as well kick back, get drunk, and smoke a joint.
Ah, but circumstances finally brought about a big change in me.
It was a long, rough and bumpy road, but it was worth every mile, you see,
Now my destiny is sealed in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Eternal salvation is mine, but at a very costly price.
He gave up his life for me, now how can I ever complain.
No matter what fate may deal me,
my joy will always remain
We are only here for a little while,
and then its over, we're gone.
It's where we go from here that matters, and  we don't want to get that wrong.
Could it be fate that you are reading this today?
So that you too will come to know the Way.
To know the joy that you are saved for all eternity .
 Accept Him as your Lord and Savior and you too shall see, 
That no matter what life may deal you, nothing is too rough.
Because you have Jesus Christ, and His grace is always enough!
