GOD-awesome Circumstances

There are days in my life when I wish I could just stay home in bed:
The weather is awful outside and there is a pounding in my head--
But I have to get up and get out and get things done for the Lord;
It's why I am still here living in this crazy mixed-up world

What always happens is God will use every circumstance for good;
Then I kick myself for thinking I couldn't get up and do what I should--
Doing all I can while I can for Jesus is really my reason for living:
Loving, praying, teaching, writing, working, forgiving and giving

When I look at my life through His eyes I have a revelation and realize:
Something I think is horrible may really be 'a blessing in disguise'!
So I've changed my attitude to one of gratitude as my life advances--
Everything that happens now is all part of God-awesome circumstances!

When the headache and sickness of life overwhelms you and you can't go on:
Reach up to the Lord and reach out to someone who will give you hope,
with a song.
