Unknowingly

be it known that we enter life unknowing 
of what we are to become
of what we are to do
be it known that we enter life unknowing
of what will happen years from day one
blessed it the moments when we all learned to run
yet life is full of tragedy and triumph
not exactly luck of the draw
we all enter life unknowingly
but we always cherish what we saw
if one day our soul should be tired 
if one day the strength seems to whimper 
when it used to roar
thank God for everything that has been
for everything you have ever explored
let not the technical terms confuse what life is to be
the best part is being part of it unknowingly
for the One who knows all 
with every reason all His own
sits on high, on His throne
Blessed child of God
your pain is in God's hands
your worries... lay upon His feet
no one knows what tomorrow holds 
or if it will even begin
I say this, Mr. Terry
you are surrounded by a lot of loving friends
be not afraid of the chemotherapy
be not afraid or ashamed of the hospital stay
I ask one thing of you
only that you keep your faith strong, and always pray
I pray for you 
need not to know you to care
don't think life isn't fair
live it the most you can
pray as we pray for you
bound by love... bound by strength...hand in hand
