We can't have all sunshine,
But it's certainly true,
There is never a cloud,
The sun doesn't shine through.

So always remember,
That whatever betide you,
The power of God,
Is always beside you.

And if friends disappoint you,
And plans go astray,
And nothing works out,
In just the right way.

And you feel you have failed,
In achieving your goal,
And that life wrongly placed you,
In an unfitting role.

Take heart and stand tall,
And think who you are,
For God is your Father,
And no one can bar.

Or keep you from reaching,
Your desired success,
Or withhold the joy,
That is yours to possess.

For with God on your side,
It matters not who,
Is working to keep,
Life's good things from you.

For you need nothing more,
Than God's guidance and love,
To insure you the things,
That you're most worthy of.

So trust in His wisdom,
And follow His ways,
And be not concerned,
With the world's empty praise.

But SEEK first His kingdom,
And you will possess,
The world's greatest riches,
Which is true happiness!
