My God Will Provide

I want to go to college.
I want to go this fall.
I want to have the knowledge
to not go with my back up against the wall.

I need to find more money.
I need to get a second job. 
I could stay here where it’s sunny,
but I’d continue to sit here like a bump on a log.

I hope my mom will be okay, if I go, 
while I’m away.
I hope my dad will pay his bills,
and not one of them delay.

I pray that God will guide me.
I pray He’ll keep me safe.
I pray I’ll hear His calling.
I pray I’ll have more faith.

I will go to college. 
I will go this fall.
I will go and trust my God.
He will catch me if I fall.
