Overcome It and Come Out the Other End

Were going through life trying to do our best

But pain and suffering deviate us from our quest

Faith is not something you should lack

We just need some guidance to keep us on track

Don’t keep us waiting looking up and guessing

Send us down your everlasting love and blessing

We go to church because we are at a loss

We see him there before us on a cross

We fall to our knees to say a prayer

In hope that heaven is listening and will care

We cry for help with for someone to hear it

The only ones that matter are the father the son and the holy spirit

We need to thank you in so many ways

All you want from us in return is some well deserving praise

You give us a test to teach us how to learn and mend

To overcome it and come out the other end
