I AM A SURVIVOR

I am a true survivor
In my walk of life.
From heartache and suffering
Of life's pain and strife.

God has truly blessed me
In so many ways
And I humbly thank Him
With each passing day.

He has given me faith
And the will to live.
Returning to me ten fold
The love that I give.

And sometimes God's love
Is tough love, that's for sure.
But He doesn't give me
Any more than I can endure.

He shows me many options
So that I can cope
And the strength to believe
There is always hope.

Unconditionally He loves me
Just for who I am
Forgiving me so faithfully
When I walk in sin.

When I am really down
And can no longer see
God gently picks me up
And patiently carries me.

Yes, I am a survivor
Facing life each day.
I know God lives within me
And He is there to stay.
