I'm striving to do better
My path he's making straight
We rush to feel a paradise
God's timing makes us wait
For us, it feels like miles
Through hills with crooked trails
Our struggles simply won't compete
With crosses, thorns, and nails
Rejoice since Jesus is alive
His love for us remains
We've found eternal life through Christ
Who's broken all our chains
The devil has been overcome
Since Jesus shed his blood
I used to drown in fear and shame
But Jesus stopped the flood
My faith's becoming stronger
My doubt has gone away
I speak to God throughout the day
Through fear, I'll always pray
Without the Lord, I'm simply dust
With Jesus, I'm alive
Although I struggle with some sin
For glory, I will strive
I know the Lord is proud of me
His mercy set me free
A godly wife, with joy and love
Is who I want to be
Although the future is unknown
God prospers, never harms
Since Jesus paid the price for us
I'm safe within his arms
