I Praise You

I praise you for the victory
no matter what comes my way.
I praise you for the victory
 With all I do and say.

There is no weapon strong enough
to take me from this life.
When the times start becoming rough,
I keep my tongue from strife.

I write this for my Lord and King,
it’s He who keeps me going.
It’s He who makes my heart to sing
And His love I’ll keep on sowing.

This is great!!! Keeping the tongue from strife can be difficult. And once mastered, life becomes an even greater blessing. This is beautiful. Lovingly, Dane
