I make a lot of mistakes along the way,
But I'm still perfect, what more can I say.
When I make a blunder I do it well,
Now the rest of the story is easy to tell.
I don't let the mistakes get me down,
I just get back up and wipe off my frown.
I make perfect mistakes, and they teach me.
That makes me perfect, now do you see?

It is near end of April
looking out on the fells
around the Lakeland countryside
the beauty fills one with yells
The tips of the hills
are clearly coloured white
amazing to see this
as our eyes shows this sight
For this is indeed
wonderful to behold
not to be expected
in this scene so cold
But spring will surely come
to burst through this landscape
bringing in light and colour
powerfully moulding it's shape

Freds Market has the best food in town,
In fact it's the best that I've found.
All the food just taste so good,
I just wanted to tell everyone that I could.
This is the next day and I'm still thinking about that meal,
And with the senior discount, it was really a great deal.
You'll just have to try it is all I can say,
I plan to go back again some other day.

Where hills are alive
with imagination
carried by clouds
toward their destination
Lakeland fells and sheep
Liverpool of cormorants
Wales with its dragons
Yorkshire and terrier dogs
in Lancashire towns
of redbrick and cobbled folk
who worked with bare hands
to build a much better world
beneath these beautiful skies.
If you go skiing, watch out for the trees.
This is a warning, take heed if you please.
Some would tell you this I'm sure,
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Watch out for the trees of life that get in your way,
If you see them first, you'll have a much better day.
Life can be a breeze, and you can live in ease,
If you'll watch out for those trees.

He forgave me, of my sin.
He is dwelling deep within,
He loves me this I know,
He's my Lord, I need Him so.
I am nothing, He's everything.
He's my savior, He's my King.
He gave me, life so free.
He is Mercy, He's Grace to me.
If I can't trust Him, who can I trust,
He's amazing and He is Just.
He's the answer, to it all,
I will hear Him and heed His call.

When things don't go like we think they should,
When things don't go our way.
Just give you life to the one up above,
He's the potter, we're the clay.
When problems appear in our lives,
When everything we do seems wrong.
Remember that God is the God of Love,
He takes the weak things, and makes them strong.
God is in control, He loves my soul.
He's always near, and He's everywhere,
God is still in control.

When I look at what God has brought me through,
It lets me know He’ll do what He said He would do.
He brought me through the battle to victory
God will take care of me.
No matter what may come my way,
God is with me everyday.
He gives me life abundant and free,
God will take care of me
God will take care of me,
He’ll bring me through life’s troubled sea,
When the waves gets rough and rocky,
God will take care of me.
