Every time you think you’ve made it

the goal posts move away

yesterday you fixed it

but today’s a brand new day

when all your hopes and plans

have somehow gone astray

you cannot find dry land

and all you can do is pray

 

You’re in charge of your life, they say

but it’s not quite true

there are many people out there

who have power over you

you struggle to please

but don’t know what to do

God have mercy, you cry

God please see me through

 

You’re heartsick and weary

you’re asking for a sign

you stand on God’s promises

that your life will be fine

believing in His mercy

and trusting the divine

Morning dawns full of hope

you’ll be saved by His design
