I Shall Prevail

Even though I stuggle and have had enough setbacks
        to cause me to shed a tear;
And even though I face challenges so great, that they
        cause me to tremble with fear.
At times, I lose faith, and struggle with doubts that
        cause me to believe that I'll fail;
God reminds me of His love; In Him, I shall prevail.

I sometimes make poor choices, and do things that
        cause me to wander and lose my way;
I don't always listen to good advice and when I'm
        stubborn, I begin to stray.
I might easily throw up my hands in frustration,
        because I think that I will fail;
But God is faithful; In Him, I shall prevail.

I will still believe, even though I have struggles
        that at times seem too great to bear;
I will bow down and cast upon God my every care.
I have a God, who will strengthen and renew me,
        even when I feel that I might fail;
I will have faith. I will not give up. For with God's help,
        I shall prevail.
