Survival by Faith

Survival By Faith Written by Gary D. Ward, Gary D. Ward, All rights reserved I found an old picture, just the other day And it got me thinking ‘bout how we used to be We were happy, full of hope, we were making our plans We couldn’t wait to go chasing our dreams Our future looked bright, nothing could stand in our way Our burning desire, was like an eternal flame But in this life we’re-not always the lucky ones When you feel misfortune’s coming at you in waves Things come along, and things go away You may feel like giving in to your pain Just look out on the horizon There’s a rainbow wherever it rains Just put it all in his hands, ‘cause it’s survival by faith I thought it would be us, sitting by the lake Watching the evening sun fade away I thought it would be us, walking on the beach Enjoying the life that we made We chased our dreams for this life with abandon We couldn’t know what was lying in wait But here we are now, on a road that we didn’t take But in this life we’re-not always the lucky ones When you feel misfortune’s coming at you in waves Things come along, and things go away You may feel like giving in to your pain Just look out on the horizon There’s a rainbow wherever it rains Just put it all in his hands, ‘cause it’s survival by faith
