Recently I’ve been thinking about some of the challenges I get to face in this crazy life. It would be easy to give in and let them get the best of me. (I think most people would.) But instead, I decided I wasn’t going to be that girl. I’m going to be the girl who meets my trials head on and enjoys the journey while trying to do the best I can. Maybe you are in a similar spot in life. If so, we can do this. 🙂
I’m going to take your challenge
And rise up to the top –
Not let it pull me down
Or let it make me stop.
Other than a rest or two
As I catch my breath again.
Then pick myself up off the ground
And rise up further that I’ve been.
Your challenge isn’t going to beat me
But make me stronger still
As I take each bit of weakness
And let your challenge do the kill.
The best of those who’ve ever lived
Have beat your challenge too.
And so I’ll follow each footstep
And do the things that they each do.
For I can’t think of anyone
Better to take a stand
Then the righteous men and women
Who follow God to lead their band.
And so I’ll take your challenge –
And I won’t let it make me stop
But I’ll let it make me stronger
And help me rise up to the top.
