FORTITUDE

They say in life you need some fortitude

How you respond to setback

It shows your attitude

Whether we're bitter or show some gratitude

Or we fall back and show some latitude


Don't let failure get to your head

They're better days ahead!

(It's why in life, you need some fortitude!)

Don't let success get to you

They're better days ahead

(It's why in life you need some attitude!)


Hear, I'm not a man inclined to stress

I would have given up before starting at first

But mother encouraged me to push on a bit

And I must confess, I sure enjoyed the feat


But it turns out it wasn't for me

Alas, it wasn't meant to be

But God worked it out for me

And brought the glory down for Him

For God works in mysterious ways

And blesses his people in glorious ways


If God comes for friends, he comes for you

It's never the end, believe, it's true!

It's why we need an attitude of gratitude

And his strength to give us some fortitude


See, I'm a man set in my ways

Stubborn as a mule on any good day

But God is the egg that breaks the rock

And the true shepherd that guides his flock

The days he changes to his will

That his children may have their fill

He makes the rivers out of dry ground

To wipe their faces of all frowns


Every situation bears his seal

That his children do not in vain till

Still on course he keeps their wheel

And his presence they all but feel

As his mighty hands to raise them

As their coffers he comes to fill


The hand of God we can't deny

For on him do we rely

No matter what the fates imply

Only on God do we rely!


Blessings upon his gracious people

Whose heart feel the move of God's pulling

Whose spirit is supple

Whose actions are graceful

Their generosity most subtle


Shall we forget those who took us up like donkeys?

Who despite positions remain humble

Who put in the yards to make things come through

I pray God's blessings upon his people

And having friends, isn't it wonderful?


So let's fight together to reach the top

But at the end of the day

It's love that never gives up!
