Character never builds 
When put to the side to grow on it's own 
Like the sharpened knife 
It once had to grind against stone 
The life that I have chosen 
I wasn't promised an easy way out 
But when the hard times come 
He's there for me 
That's what He's about 
As I fight I'm not alone 
Through the struggles I have grown 
I failed Him before 
And I will fail over and over again 
He promised me not to leave 
And with that how could I not win 
Disoriented by change 
Hard times come that's one thing for sure 
But He promises me that I won't 
See one more ounce 
Than I can endure 
When I feel like I am a failure 
That is when I should surrender 
Never to the opposing attack 
But to His guidance 
Right where I am at
