Patience and Perseverance
Let me bear trials and pain
Without complaint or holler;
Let me endure the rough rain
And strong storm or vile weather.
Let me display forbearance
Under strain, hurt, and heartache;
Let me beat the remonstrance,
Even the wrong or mistake.
Let me be firm and steadfast,
In spite of opposition;
Let my toleration last,
Despite the provocation.
Let me possess fortitude,
To withstand difficulty;
Let me have the attitude
Of braving my misery.
Let me have constant effort
To achieve my greatest goal;
Erasing my grime and dirt,
For redemption of my soul.
