In spite of the rat race

We move at our own pace

We learn along the way

And we pray every day

The road is long

But faith keeps us strong

God is our guiding light

He protects us day and night

In spite of our trials and tribulations

God works without hesitation

He dries every tear

He eases every fear

He eases our sorrow

As we prepare for tomorrow

In spite of naysayers

We say our prayers

We stand on scripture

While looking at the big picture

We stumble here and there

But God gives us tender, loving care

Our journey is ours alone

We’ve stepped out of our comfort zone

We have a purpose

It came to the surface

That moment was sweeter than a dove

And we’ll keep moving

In spite of
