"LESSON PLAN"
by Jeff Leslie

Faith can move the mountains
But sometimes let them be
Then grant me, Lord, the gifts I need
To reach the highest peak

For I'd rather have the courage
And the strength it takes to climb
Than live with lessons left unlearned
For never having tried

Faith can walk on water
But sometimes let me swim
Then grant me, Lord, the gifts I need
To fight the waves within

For I'd rather have endurance
That it takes to tame the tide
Than live with lessons left unlearned
For never having tried

Faith can heal the deaf man
And cause the blind to see
Faith can make the lame to walk
But sometimes let us be

For if You could bear that brutal cross
To cleanse the sins of Man
Then I can wear for You this chair
And learn Your lessons planned
