THE UNDERSTANDING

For the things in this life,
are never again to rip me apart.
It's not by myself that I will conquer,
but the spirit that rages within the heart.

For the new things shall come,
and the old will be wiped away.
Give me the strength that I need,
to see the light of a new day.

It's time to test and approve,
to see what God has in store.
The things in life will come to be,
His promises no longer shall I ignore.

For I am sick and tired,
on giving up on what's to be.
No longer shall I get down,
for the hope that lies within me.
