Stay The Course
For some reason I just felt like writing this. I don’t know if I would call this a song, a poem or just a bunch of phrases I strung together. All I know is I wrote it for people - myself included - who are going through tough times and need some encouragement to never quit and just stay the course. Here it goes:
STAY THE COURSE
WHEN THINGS SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING YOUR WAY
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
YOU’VE TRIED EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER AND YET NOTHING JUST SEEMS TO WORK
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
GOD CAN ONLY HELP US IF WE STOP TRYING TO HELP OURSELVES
A SAVIOUR IS ONLY NEEDED BY THOSE WHO WISH TO BE SAVED
FOR AS LONG AS WE LEAN ON OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING WE WON’T FULLY TRUST IN THE LORD
SO NEVER BE SURPRISED IF ALL YOUR EFFORTS ARE FOR NAUGHT
BECAUSE APART FROM HIM WE ARE NOTHING, HE’S THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU WON’T MAKE IT AND THERE’S NO HOPE LEFT IN SIGHT
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP AND YOU THINK THAT GOD HAS FORESAKEN YOU
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
DOES A FATHER LEAVE HIS SON TO DIE IN THE DESSERT? DOES HE DEPRIVE HIM OF ALL GOOD THINGS?
IF WE OURSELVES ARE CAPABLE OF LOVING OUR OWN CHILDREN WHAT MORE HE? WHAT MORE HE?
AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE STORMS OF YOUR LIFE, NEVER WAIVER, NEVER FLEE
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
WHEN THERE ARE GIANTS ALL AROUND YOU AND YOU FEEL TOO SMALL TO TRIUMPH
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
FOR GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE US, THAT’S HIS PROMISE FROM THE START
ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS BLESS US IF WE BELIEVE, JUST BELIEVE
WE’RE ABOUT TO CROSS THE JORDAN AND THE PROMISED LAND AWAITS
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
HE HAS PROMISED US GREAT THINGS SO WE MAY BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
WE WILL OVERCOME, WE WILL PROSPER,
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
STAY THE COURSE, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS
